Abstract

Speech delay is one of the language development disorders commonly found in early childhood and has the potential to hinder social interaction skills as well as long-term academic development. This study aims to describe the early detection process, identify causal factors, and analyze the achievement of language development milestones in children with speech delays at the Pertiwi DWP Setda Wonosobo Playgroup. This study employed a qualitative, case-study approach. The research subjects were four children in the “Lebah” Class, aged 3–4 years. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews with the principal and teachers, and documentation of language development milestone checklists based on indicators from the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association. Data analysis was conducted through the stages of data condensation, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results showed that early detection was carried out by teachers through initial communication with parents and observation of the children’s communicative behavior from the time they were introduced to the school environment. Factors contributing to speech delays included minimal verbal interaction with parents, excessive exposure to electronic devices, and a limited social play environment for the children. Milestone analysis revealed major delays in expressive language skills, particularly in fluent speech, word pronunciation, and two-way communication. Interventions implemented by teachers included providing scaffolding, collaborating with parents, and referring children to speech-language pathologists. Keywords: early detection, speech delay, language milestones.
