What this Trial Is About
The language environment that influences the child's language development has been studied using different subjective tools, mainly audio and/or video recording and manual transcriptions. The linguistic results of the implanted deaf child are dependent on the age at the implant, but also on the auditory and linguistic stimulation in the first months following the placement of the implant. Parents are the main actors in the child's language development. Professionals can rely on the LENA tool: Language ENvironment Analysis, which objectifies the language environment of the child at home in his daily environment. It is possible to obtain statistics on the number of adult words received by the child, the number of words produced by the child as well as the exposure to media and noise. On the basis of this quantitative data, the family can be supported in an attempt to optimize the conditions for receiving their child's speech. The purpose of this study is to analyze the effect of speech therapy parental support using the data provided by the Language ENvironment Analysis (LENA) tool, in a pediatric population implanted early, i.e. before the age of 18 months and aged under 24 months inclusive at the start of their participation in the study.
