Abstract
The authors propose to help children with cerebral palsy compensate for certain neuro-physical deficiencies in vocalization by building a speaking machine, based on a three-step cognitive model. The first version of the machine developed speaks French but, faced with translation into English, the authors show the limitations of using icons as an intermediate language. Finally, a test with aphasic children shows their interest in the machine
