Özet

Objective: Children's use of television is an important environmental risk factor associated with speech delay. Although the relationship between television use and speech delay has been examined, there is no study in the literature investigating the relationship between parent's smartphone use and speech delay. In this study, we aimed to investigate the relationship between speech delay and problematic smartphone use and to test the hypothesis that the rate of problematic smartphone use is higher in the parents of children with delayed speech compared to those parents of children with healthy development.
