Speech-Language Pathology and Occupational Therapy are professions that, within the scope of their fields of action, must ensure the adequate development of children in their daily context, thus promoting essential skills and abilities for a comprehensive growth.

In this sense, the objective of this article is to reflect on the professional role and the services offered by these disciplines within the framework of the "De Cero a Siempre" (From Zero to Forever) strategy and the enactment of Law 1804 of 2016 for early childhood.

This reflection draws on national and international policies, guidelines and programs for the period 2005-2016 and proposes a critical analysis of the actions, functions and role of these professions, with a particular emphasis on primary health care.

Palavras-chave : Primary Health Care; Child development; Primary Prevention; Speech-Language Pathology; Occupational Therapy (MeSH).
