Article Description

Abstract This essay analyzes the Brazilian laws, public policies, and programs for the promotion of child development, focusing on initiatives aimed at identifying developmental delays. Since 1984, the legislation about early childhood has included child development as part of the Brazilian childcare agenda. However, screening and developmental assessment were not considered among the most important actions aimed at childcare. It is necessary to formulate official instruments or scales and implement interventions for the detection of developmental disorders, delays, and risk conditions to reach more children and promptly identify their potential developmental delays.
