A mentally retarded student has an in elegancy function, communication abilities, and social skills that are below average. The goal of this study was to depict a mild mentally retarded student’s language acquisition ability at a special Elementary school for mentally retarded (SDLB) in Tunas Harapan Jombang, Indonesia. The relationship between language and mind in processing and creating utterances in language learning for a mentally retarded student was investigated using a psycholinguistics study. A qualitative case study was used in this investigation. The subject was a student at SDLB Tunas Harapan Jombang who was mentally mildly retarded. Psycholinguistics, language acquisition, and phonology were employed as study theories. The information was gathered by field observation with mildly mentally impaired students, which included interviewing, recording, and note-taking approaches. The findings demonstrate that recognizing letters and pronouncing vocabulary while engaging with her teachers’ classmates and family has an impact on her speaking skill development.
