    The delay in language development influences various communicative skills, with the most common etiologies being poor stimulation, sensory impairments, neurological problems, and sociocultural factors in those who suffer from it. Scientific literature shows that 3 out of 5 children exhibit language development delay in the preschool years. Objective: To determine the incidence of language development delay in children aged 3 to 5 years attending the Integral Specialized Rehabilitation Center IESS Azogues during the period September 2023 - February 2024. Method: A descriptive crosssectional study was conducted on language development in children aged 3 to 5 years, who were evaluated using a structured survey and the PLS-V Test; the results were analyzed using SPSS 22.0 software. Results: 61 users were evaluated, where 44.3% exhibited language development delay. Among them, males predominated with 31.2%, the age group of 3.0 to 3.6 years with 22.9%. Regarding the place of origin, the rural area predominated with 26.3%, and in terms of parents' education, a higher percentage was observed at the high school and tertiary levels with 19.7%. Finally, 26.3% of the users did not present any associated pathology. Conclusion: The research provided insights into the various sociodemographic characteristics influencing language development, resulting in a higher incidence in males from rural areas, parents with middle and tertiary education levels.
