The aim of the study is to examine process dimensions in a model regarding family-oriented services in early intervention. Professionals in habilitation from different parts of Sweden participated (n=237). A hypothesized model was tested with Confirmatory Factor Analysis and Structural Equation Modeling procedures and resulted in a hierarchical model with two main factors: a relationship dimension and an involvement/information-exchange dimension. The process of intervention comprises efforts in building relationships, enhance effective information exchange between parents and professionals, and finally find different ways of involving parents/families. The findings call for a distinction between relational and participatory elements when referring to family oriented services.
