His first collaboration with a speech therapist (Martine Collin) showed the interest to further elaborate more investigation tools in order to develop a general evaluation, taking into consideration the necessary tools for learning, so that comparative before and after tests could be used to objectivate the results seemingly obtained. This was undertaken by another speech therapist (Brigitte Evans) from 1992 to 1998 in his office.
By that time, it was already evident that the original sequence of different existing classical tests, which we researched and put together, was going to be a major tool in evaluating the learning capacities of an individual. Remained one problem : each evaluation was necessitating two hours with the patient, plus another two for correction by a specialist, which meant a lot of time, therefore a cost prohibiting a widespread use.
End of 1997, Prof. Murat Kunt (Head of the Signal Transmission Laboratory, Swiss Institute of Technology in Lausanne, Switzerland) was approached and got enthusiastic about the general purpose of the research and its related computerisation challenges. He was soon followed by CTI (Swiss Government Agency in charge of financially promoting university research), which is actually funding the university side of our research.
What is the purpose (health/education duality)?
