Abstract

Multidisciplinary work promotes better child development. Objective: To promote child health and prevent nutritional disorders and myofunctional orofacial disorders in children attending the daycare center of Lagarto, Sergipe. Methods: Three daycare centers in Lagarto were invited to participate in the proposal and the guardians signed a free and informed consent - (FIC - CEP 270 079). Participated in interdisciplinary screening only children whose parents signed a FIC (n = 163) and participated at extension activities (n=293). The children, of both genders, aged between 2:1 and 5:11 years old. Activities performed: interdisciplinary workshops and screening; murals; child guidance and observation in everyday situations; guidelines and lectures (90 parents and 23 teachers) and construction of teaching material for educators. Results: The interdisciplinary screening was observed as normal in most participants (nutritional aspects – 69.4%, extra and intraoral and muscle tonus - 73.4 %), with workshop proposals for the improvement of functions with the worse scores in screening (mobility - 85.5 %, chewing and breathing - 83.2 %). The children agreed to the proposal of the Workshops. With an adherence of 10 % of the relatives in the lectures and textbooks were distributed. There was improvement (82.85 %) after reapplying the screening. Those children who remained with alterations were referred for treatment. Conclusion: The analysis of the nutritional and myofunctional orofacial demands in preschoolers allowed the execution of interdisciplinary prevention and successful health promotion. Actions between Speech Language Pathology and Audiology and Nutrition are important to improve the community’s quality of life and the partnership formalized with Education enabled to foster and encourage the proposal of Health Promoting Schools.
