It was found to have a significant impact on children's speech development. This study adopted a qualitative method with a case study approach. The qualitative method is used because this study aims to discuss the factors influencing children's speech delay and how the flashcards enhance the speaking skills of children with speech delays in BA Aisyiyah Prembun.
