Early Intervention and Special Eduaction stand side by side, in what concerns the caring of children with special educational needs and their families. The result is the emphasis given by the recent law 3/2008, January 7, to the Early Intervention, and the own legislation which created the National System of Early Intervention – SNIPI, the law 281/2009, October 6. The birth of a child with special educational needs causes a series of changes, in terms of, the families‟ needs and priorities. This way, our study was mainly based on the families„ opinion in identifying their needs and also in understanding their expectactions towards the use of a formal resource, which is available in the community – the Kindergarten. We reflected on the quantitative needs assessment of 25 inquired families, who already benefit of Early Intervention, and we concluded that their more common needs are felt at the level of access to logistical resources and specialized tecnicians. As Early Intervention tecnicians we could also conclude that Kindergarten is a formal resource that the inquired families prospect as a pedagogical response, where they want their childrens' integration.
