Abstract


Families raising children with special needs face complex challenges that impact the internal dynamics of the family and their relationships with professionals providing support services. A systemic analysis of these issues requires a comprehensive examination of the ecosocial system, including communication, mutual roles and responsibilities, coping strategies, and available support resources. This study aims to analyze the relationships between professionals and families in the context of collaboration for support services for children with special needs. The focus is on institutional, social, and cultural approaches that influence the quality of interactions. Key themes include the importance of cultural sensitivity and contextual understanding, partnership models, and the use of strength-based approaches to develop effective and sustainable interventions. In conclusion, the review highlights the need for enhanced collaboration between families and professionals to address challenges comprehensively. The recommended approach is oriented toward building relationships based on mutual understanding, promoting personalized intervention strategies that meet the specific needs of families and children. This research contributes to understanding best practices and identifying gaps in existing services.
