Thanks to this plan, we will put in place “systematic screening, all children can be diagnosed in the event of difficulties” supports the minister. We need to identify children more easily, “with the creation of a large public service” And “who says public service says free, to better identify all these problems between zero and six years”she explains. “When we diagnose very early, there is better care, better support and therefore this avoids medical wandering and the development of excess disability”.
