Early intervention refers to the process of information, counseling, education and support for children and their parents who at an early age have been diagnosed with a development delay and children with a risk of development delay. It has been shown that the early intervention program is the most effective if it is started immediately after determining the delay or discovering the development difficulty (Wrightslaw, 2008). The goal of this final work was to gain insight into parent’s and expert’s perception of the quality of early intervention services according to the place of receiving and providing early intervention services. The goal was also to determine if there are differences between parent’s and expert’s perception, and if they exist in which characteristics.The early intervention service is provided either at the family’s home of the service recipient or at the institution where the service provider is. The research sample consisted of two groups of respondents from the Republic of Croatia. The first group consisted of parents of children up to the age of seven whose children receive or have received early intervention services in their home and in an institution. The early intervention service can be provided by the same or several different experts. The second group consisted of experts of various profiles who provide or have provided early intervention services in the child’s home and in the institution. The results of the conducted research show that parents and experts perceive the quality of early intervention services differently according to the place of receiving and providing the service. Parents have a better perception of the quality of the early intervention service they receive in the institution, and experts have a better perception of the quality of the early intervention service they provide in the family.
