Abstract	Families are the experts on their children. They often have the most knowledge about their children's strengths, support needs, and preferences. Furthermore, the family plays a critical role in their child's development, partnering with professionals in early intervention to identify child and family needs and to develop and implement strategies to address them. The Initial Practice-Based Professional Preparation Standards for Early Interventionists/Early Childhood Special Educators (EI/ECSE) describe the knowledge, skills, values, and dispositions professionals need to be competent practitioners. The purpose of this article is not only to highlight the core theme of family partnership in the EI/ECSE Standards but also to identify ways in which the standards can serve as a resource to families. Using actual questions raised by families, answers and solutions are provided to demonstrate how families can use the EI/ECSE Standards to build their understanding of the knowledge, skills, values, and dispositions expected of EI/ECSE professionals and how to advocate for gaps in services they may be experiencing.
