    ABSTRACT Background: Speech sound disorder is the most common of childhood communication difficulties and constitutes more than 70% of cases of pediatric speech and language pathology. Speech and language deficits may be related to learning difficulties in reading and writing, impaired academic performance, and secondary emotional and behavioral deficits. Objectives: to determine the incidence of speech sound disorders in users between 3 and 6 years of age of the "Miguel Moreno Ordoñez" educational unit during the period from March to December 2021, Cuenca. Methodology: a quantitative, descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out. A sample of 126 students aged between 3 to 6 years was used. Excel information was tabulated and analyzed with SPSS. The qualitative variables were presented with frequencies and percentages, while for the qualitative variables, central trend statistics were used as the mean and dispersion as the standard deviation. For the association of variables, Pearson's Chi square was used. Results: the incidence obtained was 0.48. The mean age presented was 4.69 (±1.3) years. Most of the population were 6-year-old men of urban origin with parents who have a secondary education. 48.8% of children have TSH, of which most have mixed disorders (40.5%). All the people who present a TSH (44.4%) currently receive some type of treatment for their pathology. When relating age, sociodemographic variables and the presence of TSH, no statistically significant relationship was observed.
