She then completed her Ph.D. in research and intervention (clinical neuropsychology profile) at University of Montreal.She has worked in Quebec and Bolivia with individuals with intellectual disability. Valérie is interested in cerebral plasticity which may explain cognitive and behavioural difficulties in populations with intellectual disability. She investigates the underlying mechanisms of learning in intellectual disability and autism spectrum disorder. The ultimate goal is to have a better understanding of the specific traits of every syndrome.
