Difficulties in the development of speech and language in children are considered as a common paediatric disability and it may have long-lasting effects on social skills, behavior, emotion, education and employment. There are several factors associated with speech and language delay in children which are very crucial to identify for raising awareness among parents as well as for the professional to provide early intervention by looking into them. The aim of this study is to identify risk factors of speech and language delay in children less than 6 years of age within the period of one year in a tertiary level hospital of Bangladesh. A cross-sectional study conducted with 150 children with primary speech and language delay and their parents who attended for speech and language therapy at Outdoor Patient (OPD) of Institute for Paediatric Neurodisorder and Autism (IPNA) in Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU) for one year of period. This study found that the aspects being male gender, parental age, use of electronic devices, gestational age at birth, low birth weight and child’s attention problem are most common risk factors of speech and language delay in children. These findings help to monitoring the children who have these risk factors and that should draw the attention for early screening, assessment and intervention.
