The child's language development arises from an interaction between biological characteristics and experiences provided by the environment. Adverse factors in these two areas can alter their typical developmental pace. Therefore, it is emphasized the need to carefully and cautiously monitor child development. The objective of this study was to conduct remote screening of children aged 1-4 years attending different Family Health Units in a municipality in the interior of São Paulo, and to provide guidance to caregivers on positive strategies for language enhancement while awaiting referral for early intervention. Due to the pandemic scenario, an online screening questionnaire based on the Language Development Protocol (LDP) was developed, and through active participant search, 285 children were screened. The results showed statistical significance regarding the impacts caused by the pandemic and interaction with other children. Furthermore, it was found that children who do not interact with others have approximately twice the prevalence of delays. A delay rate of 18.95% (n=54) was also observed in the total studied sample. Parents/caregivers were provided with guidance and tools through the Language Stimulation Guide developed by the executing researcher, and the units were informed about children with delays. In conclusion, the importance of speech-language pathologists in primary healthcare is highlighted, as they assist in preventive processes for child development disorders, considering that language permeates children's overall development. Additionally, it is necessary to promote intersectoral actions that involve early childhood education schools, as they play a crucial role in the context of child development.
