Abstract

In the era of globalization, digital devices are developing rapidly to make it easier to establish more efficient communication and have reached all groups, including toddlers. Nowadays, many toddlers are familiar with digital devices, but there are quite a few negative impacts, one of which is delays in children’s speech. Delays in speaking in children are a serious concern for parents. If it is not addressed immediately, it will become a fatal problem for the child’s verbal development. Therefore, delays in speaking in children must be carefully considered. The aim of this research is to analyze more deeply the negative impact of digital devices on speech delays in children and the differences between children who receive therapy treatment and those who do not receive therapy. The research method used is a qualitative case study type of research. The data sources for this research were obtained from observations and interviews. The research subjects were parents of children with speech delays, Integrated Health Service Center at Cadres, Wetan Hamlet Midwives, Jatiyoso District, Karanganyar Regency. From this research, it was found that the problem of children’s speech delays tends to be influenced by external factors (environmental factors), namely not interacting with peers or other people in their home environment, parenting patterns that allow children to use digital devices more often without limiting the intensity of use, and lack of parents in paying attention to children’s development. Apart from that, there is a difference in that children who receive speech therapy treatment can stimulate speech delay so that the child’s speech development can develop according to their age, whereas children who do not receive speech therapy treatment cannot develop their language development optimally.
