The present study aims to identify the intersectoral practices of infant development (DI) monitoring in health, education and social assistance, based on a model of family-centered capacity building, adopted in Portugal and linked to the project by Della Barba, PCS "DI monitoring in the light of the family-centered capacity building model", which seeks to propose and analyze a Child Development Monitoring System (SMDI). The present study was carried out in the São Carlos region of the São Paulo Program for the First Childhood (SPPI). The stages of the subproject are: 1. Identify and select intersectoral and integral indicators of monitoring and attention to the ID, 2.
