Summary
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.

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 daily environment. On the basis of this quantitative data provided by the LENA, 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. The LENA tool was validated in French version in 2015. It is a system of recording and automatic analysis of the language environment of the child using a box worn for 10-16 hours, with a minimum of 10 consecutive hours. For the study, the families make 2 separate recordings of 6 months at home (T1 and T2) then, a centralized analysis of all the data is carried out by the speech therapist using adapted software, the LENA Pro Version Software v3.4, during the times T1 and T2. The return of the analysis of the data collected via the LENA will be made to the family after T1 and after T2. The parameters resulting from this analysis relate to four domains: "adult words", "conversation turns", "child vocalizations" and "exposure to electronic media". Average numerical scores expressed in percentiles are published at the end of the analysis. Individual scores are then compared to a standard expressed as percentiles. The content of the conversations will not be listened to and only numerical scores will be used for each of the parameters studied and obtained by computer analysis.

| OTHER | LENA tool: Language ENvironment Analysis | Recording of the language environment of the child at home, in daily environment, with the LENA. The parameters recorded relate to four domains: "adult words", "conversation turns", "child vocalizations" and "exposure to electronic media". The LENA box is worn for 10-16 hours, with a minimum of 10 consecutive hours. the families make 2 separate recordings of 6 months at T1 and T2. |
| BEHAVIORAL | Return of the analysis of the data of LENA | The analysis of the LENA data is carried out by the speech therapist using the LENA Pro Version Software v3.4, during the times T1 and T2. The return of the analysis of the data collected via the LENA will be made to the family of the patient after T1 and after T2 and personalized advice will then be given to parents with the aim of improving their child's language skills. |
