National Fragile X Awareness Month is about expanding public awareness and educating those who are in a position to help make a difference. We strive to do this every day, but once a year, in July, we bang our drum even louder to raise awareness about:

• Fragile X and the people it affects.
• The risks of being a carrier.
• Educating doctors about their role in diagnosing — and caring for — patients.
• Educating teachers and special educators about their role in reaching and engaging individuals with Fragile X.
• Educating policymakers about their role in setting policies and providing opportunities for people with Fragile X — and all intellectual disabilities.
• Involving more researchers in Fragile X research.
• Educating therapists about the differences — and similarities — between Fragile X and autism, and their role in treating them separately and together.
• The importance of clinical trials and studies, including support and guidance for individuals and their families so they understand the challenges they may be facing, and how to prepare for participation.
