Abstract	The Chinese version of the Family-Professional Partnership Scale (FPPS-C) measures satisfaction with mutually established parent-professional partnerships. This study aimed to evaluate the measurement properties of the FPPS-C Family and Professional Versions. The participants comprised 167 parents who had a child enrolled in an early intervention program, and 200 early intervention professionals in Taiwan. Structural validity, internal consistency, test--retest reliability, and construct validity were examined. The Family Version denoted a single-dimensional scale with high internal consistency (alpha = 0.99) and adequate test-retest reliability (intraclass correlation coefficient [ICC] = 0.54). The Professional Version showed a three-factor structure with moderate to adequate internal consistency (alpha = 0.64-0.90) and test--retest reliabilities (ICC = 0.60-0.77). Construct validity was evidenced through positive associations between parental and professional perceptions on partnerships and to family-centered service provision. The FPPS-C is a reliable and valid measure, and the study findings can influence research initiatives and practices that aim to ameliorate the provision of family-centered services by early intervention programs.
