The screening of the visual and auditive sensory disorders is a significant stake of public health in France. Those are still too late and do not allow the assumption of responsibility early necessary. Between 0 and 3 years the issue is to avoid the two principal problems: irreversible amblyopia and language acquisition disorders by auditive deficit. It is thus advisable to find strategies which improve this situation. Pragmatic medical attitude and usual tests, usable in daily practice of the doctors who have really contact with the children, should be suggested.
