Abstract

The evaluation of visual and auditive functions of students entering the first degree of elementary school is considered a basic action of the student health.

The child needs normal vision and hearing (or with adequate correction) to carry on this process in the easiest way. In this paper, we tried to study the visual and auditive problems in elementary school students in the city of Ribeirão Preto, from different social layers concerning early of cases and resolution of problems (or not) found by the family and school.
