PSIKOEDUKASI KETERLAMBATAN BICARA (SPEECH DELAY) DAN CARA MENGATASINYA PADA ANAK

With a 42.5% frequency in preschool-aged children, child speech delay is becoming a more concerning developmental issue in Indonesia. This problem affects children's social and emotional development in addition to their communicative abilities. Through socialization and hands-on training, this Community Service Program (KKN) seeks to educate and raise awareness of speech delays and strategies for overcoming them. Interactive presentations, group discussions, and parent education on effective communication strategies are some of the strategies employed. It is anticipated that this activity would raise community awareness of the value of early detection and timely intervention while also giving parents and educators helpful information. This program seeks to establish an environment that enhances children's speech development by involving a variety of stakeholders. The results of these exercises are expected to help children reach their full communicative potential and benefit society. We believe that by adopting a comprehensive strategy, this initiative can contribute to improving the quality of child development in Indonesia
