Prescription of speech rehabilitation is now an act often performed by pediatricians. We attempt to define the implications of this act by successively describing the specific features of the training of speech specialists, the main childhood disorders for which their help is sought, and the key principals of rehabilitation. We underline the need for an improved clinical definition of learning disabilities in children in order to propose optimal therapeutic strategies.
