For several years, her professional dream has been to work in a clinic where several health specialists work as a team to ensure the best care for these clients. Valérie works primarily with preschool and school-aged children in expressive and receptive language. She also addresses difficulties with sound pronunciation and articulation. Over the years, she has developed a field of expertise in fluency disorders such as stuttering and cluttering in young adolescents and adults. She is also of interest in vocal health issues in people who make heavy use of their voice in the course of their work (teachers, entertainers, singers, actors). Since 2022, she has been offering training on vocal health and the prevention of voice problems for people practicing her professions as well as for young people in the field of the arts.
