Abstract

Based on data from the National Central Statistics Agency currently there are an estimated 351, 000 children with special needs under the age of five. This study aims to describe the frequency of visits between 12–23 months to Posyandu (Integrated Service Post) for 3 consecutive months on the development of baduta (children under two) in the Working Area of the Puskesmas, Makassar City. The type of study method used is descriptive survey research. The sampling method in this study was purposive sampling with predetermined criteria. The sample in this study is the age of 12–23 months with 35 badutas taken from 9 posyandu. Data was taken using the family characteristic questionnaire and the Pre Development Screening Questionnaire (KPSP) to measure the development of baduta. The collected data is processed using the SPSS program and presented in table form along with narration. The results showed that out of a total of 35 people who visited the posyandu 3 months in a row there were 34 baduta (97.1%) with normal development and the rest with deviant development (2.9%). When tested for development using a 15-month KPSP, the person could not carry out 5 tests out of a total of 10 tests in the 15-month KPSP. These 5 tests are rough movements. Based on the results of the study, it is suggested that the puskesmas conduct development checks at all posyandu so that children's development can be monitored.
