Valentine Dmitriev, Ph.D., spent a career as a pioneer in infant learning and early intervention for special needs children. She received national recognition for her Model Preschool Program for young children with Down Syndrome and other disabilities.  For more than 15 years she traveled widely, giving lectures and workshops in 40 cities in America and 11 foreign countries including Australia, England, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Russia and Spain.
Her years of front-line experience have led her to write seven remarkably insightful books on child development.  These include:  Teaching the Unteachable: A How-to Handbook; Tears & Triumphs: A look into the world of children with Down Syndrome or other Developmental Delays; Time To Begin: Early Education for Children with Down Syndrome; and Smart Baby, Clever Child.
