Summary

The quality of the rehabilitation of deafness in children with cochlear implantation is a major prognostic factor for the outcome on speech comprehension and oral expression. This rehabilitation is carried out cooperatively by the hospital cochlear implantation team, and by a speech therapist located near the child's home. The multi-weekly sessions represent a constraint for the child and his parents. Complementary training work at home would make it possible to balance the equity in the distribution of care in the territory, and should promote the progress of the child, who is more inclined to use a tool available at home.

Detailed description

The humanoid robot should allow an ecological approach to this additional rehabilitation. Before developing this approach, it is necessary to study the acceptability of the humanoid robot at home, both by the parents and by the cochlear implanted child. The main objective of this study is to assess the acceptability by the child and his family, of a humanoid robot installed at home for one month. The secondary objectives are to describe the acceptability of the child and his family that is the relationship to technology, the intention of use, expectations, perceived utility, perception of the robot and facilitating conditions before then after 1 month of using the robot at home, \- describe the child's acceptability with respect to his experience, his fun and the emotions felt when he uses the robot at home
