The study aimed to explore the impact of screen time on speech and language acquisition among children. The cross-sectional study was conducted on the study sample of children. This quantitative study used a cross-sectional study to analyze the relationship between screen time and its effects on the speech and language of children. The sample was selected by using a purposive sampling technique. A checklist was devised to see the impact of screen time on speech and language acquisition. Correlational analysis was used to find the association between study variables. Using logistic regression analysis, the impact of screen time on speech and language acquisition among children was explored. T-test analysis was used to investigate the difference between male and female students. The findings revealed that Screen Time positively predicted speech and language acquisition. The findings revealed a non-significant difference between boys and girls in Speech and Language Acquisition. The study recommends that future researchers use longitudinal studies to check the impact of screen time on speech and language acquisition of children to find out any changes over the period of time.
