    With regard to care in the first years of life, early intervention programs are important for the identification of risks in child development, for comprehensive and caring care for children with family involvement. There are four types of early intervention approaches that consider the family, in some way in their intervention process: centered on the professional; allied to the family; focused on the family; and family- centered. In this perspective, the research aims to understand the perceptions of family members about the practice performed by the existing team at SIPTEA-CER- PG regarding the active participation of the family in the interventions. Through the option for a qualitative method, the study is characterized as cross-sectional, descriptive and exploratory. Therefore, data collection was performed using semi- structured interviews. The participants in this research were nine family members (mothers or fathers) of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), aged zero to four years and 11 months, patients of CER-PG and inserted in the early intervention service. After data collection, thematic content analysis began, with four categories identified: 1) family participation; 2) the family as a promoter of the child's development; 3) how support for families in the intervention happens; 4) the difficulties encountered by families in the service. Based on the results, it is possible to observe that the practice of this service team is not exclusively related to a single model of support for families, there is an active participation of the family, even though it is mostly a practice aligned with the focused support model in the family. Therefore, in order to have a more specific approach, especially the one focused on the family, it is necessary for professionals to understand the importance of family participation in the entire intervention process and to train them on specific knowledge to support their action. It is hoped that this study can contribute to and encourage discussions on early intervention, on models of family support, especially on children with ASD.
