Abstract
in English, French

Concern over reduced intelligibility in a child is a common reason for consulting a speech-language pathologist. Nevertheless, there is little published research on speech sound disorders among French-speaking children. As a result, speech-language pathologists must rely on their clinical expertise or on research involving children who speak other languages, often the English language. The aim of this article is to contribute to the literature on French-speaking children with reduced intelligibility. In this study we describe the phonological profiles of seven children with a speech sound disorder. We use the Phon phonological assessment tool, which provides a rapid and precise analysis of phonological productions. Three distinct phonological profiles are identified on the basis of the severity of the disorder.

Une intelligibilité réduite durant l'enfance est un motif commun pour une consultation orthophonique. Par contre, peu de travaux ont été publiés pour décrire les troubles du développement des sons de la parole chez les enfants francophones. Par conséquence, les orthophonistes doivent se baser sur leur expertise clinique ou sur des recherches sur des enfants qui parlent d'autres langues, souvent l'anglais. Le but de cet article est de contribuer à la documentation d'enfants francophones ayant une intelligibilité réduite. Dans cette étude, nous décrivons le profil phonologique de sept enfants ayant un trouble du développement des sons de la parole. Nous utilisons l'outil d'analyse phonologique Phon, lequel permet une analyse rapide et précise des données de production phonologique. Nous identifions trois profils phonologiques distincts, selon le niveau de sévérité des troubles du développement des sons de la parole.
