Delays in speech can have significant impacts on a child's academic performance and social interactions. Speech delay refers to a condition in which a child's verbal abilities do not align with developmental milestones. Various internal and external factors contribute to this issue, including genetics, family interaction, and parental knowledge. This study aims to describe the level of maternal knowledge regarding speech and language development in children aged 0–3 years, specifically among mothers with 2-year-old children at Midwife Helen K. Br Tarigan’s practice. This descriptive study involved 30 respondents selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using a validated questionnaire and analyzed using univariate analysis. The results showed that most mothers (86.6%) had a low level of knowledge regarding speech and language development, indicating the need for increased health education and routine counseling by healthcare providers.</p> Lili Fitriati Rahmah, Desriati Sinaga, Emiya Bebiyona Br Sebayang Copyright (c) 2025 Jurnal Kesehatan LLDikti Wilayah 1 (JUKES) https://lldikti1.kemdikbud.go.id/jurnal/index.php/jukes/article/view/558 Wed, 30 Apr 2025 00:00:00 +0700
