Early childhood aged average 36.1 months, males are 53.1%, and with suspected developmental delay 48.1% . There are 4 factors which are associated with the suspected developmental delay; 1) monthly selfincome of caregiver (AOR = 1.9; 95% CI: 1.24 to 2.87; p = 0.003) 2) gander (AOR = 1.9; 95% CI: 1.33 to 2.64; p<0.001) 3) age range (AOR = 2.5; 95% CI: 1.54 to 4.09; p<0.001) and 4) quality of life about social relationship (AOR = 1.6; 95% CI: 1.23 to 2.01; p = 0.020).

Early childhood aged average 36.1 months, males are 53.1%, and with suspected developmental delay 48.1% . There are 4 factors which are associated with the suspected developmental delay; 1) monthly selfincome of caregiver (AOR = 1.9; 95% CI: 1.24 to 2.87; p = 0.003) 2) gander (AOR = 1.9; 95% CI: 1.33 to 2.64; p<0.001) 3) age range (AOR = 2.5; 95% CI: 1.54 to 4.09; p<0.001) and 4) quality of life about social relationship (AOR = 1.6; 95% CI: 1.23 to 2.01; p = 0.020).
