The relationships between health professionals and the parents of children with special needs have become more participative and empowering towards the latter. Features of such an empowering relationship include sensitivity to parents' right of choice, encouragement of their sense of control and sensitivity to individuality of each family. It is questioned whether parents actually achieve such empowerment and good practice models are investigated.
