Who we are

The TALAN Foundation is made up of people who are dedicated and committed to helping people with TALAN. Each of them generously and voluntarily shares their expertise and skills to promote research, with the goal of contributing to the development of evidence-based practices.

Our mission

Supporting clinical and applied research

The TALAN Foundation supports research projects that aim to develop assessment and intervention tools for attention, language and neurodevelopmental learning disorders (ALD), with a view to promoting screening, diagnosis and early intervention, and ultimately the academic and professional success of people with ALD. Why research specifically on these disorders? To contribute to:

- Reduce the emotional, social and economic impact of ALDs
- Inform the public and have the existence of ALDs recognized
- Give a place in society to those who have an ALD

Research is essential to make a difference for people with ALDs, but also for their loved ones, professionals and society at large. The TALAN Foundation contributes to making this difference, just as each of you can.

History

The TALAN Foundation is a very young charitable organization that came into being in 2016 under the initiative of Bruno Gauthier, president and founder of the Foundation, in the wake of his commitment to the development of knowledge, student life, and the common good.

The Board of Directors is now made up of six members who are committed to the project. Their diverse and complementary expertise in psychology, neuropsychology, teaching, communication, and accounting make them the ideal people to support the development of the Foundation.

The TALAN Foundation will continue to appeal to the generosity of all to support clinical and applied research on TALAN.
