Abstract

This research aims to explore verbal disabilities in Indonesian children suffering from speech delay, find out their spoken ability, and enhance communication. This study applied a natural observation method. The researcher was involved with the subjects for 6 months; data collection, analysis, and conclusion making. Based on the results, verbal disabilities were significantly affected phonologically compared to normal children. The three ability levels were perfectly mastered, imperfectly mastered, and not mastered at all. Phonological disability sufferers had difficulty in making the right sounds, especially at the sentencing phase of development (3;1 to 4;0-year-old), while in normal children at the age of 1.8 to 2.0 years, they were already producing phonemes at the phrase and sentence level. There was an increase in the ability of speech delay sufferers. A significant increase was also observed in the sound waveform on the speech analyzer from pre- to post-therapy.
