La Dra. Bibiana Restrepo, un pediatra del desarrollo conductual certificado por la junta de la Universidad de California y el Instituto MIND, se reúne con Johana Latorre, Lorena Reisenauer, Luz Elena Paez y Paula Bahlcke en una discusión sobre las características conductuales en el SXF.
In this webinar, Rebecca Shaffer walks us through what your child tells you, strategies to prevent the behavior, reinforce good behaviors, and build new skills.
Insights from different perspectives and exploring the role that parents and caregivers could play in preventing these behaviors, reducing their intensity, or, unintentionally, contributing to them.
Our panel of experts, Rebecca Shaffer, Lauren Schmitt, Tracy Murnan Stackhouse, Elizabeth M. Berry-Kravis, and Randi J. Hagerman, discuss behavior.
Tracy Murnan Stackhouse, MA, OTR, addresses the topic of anxiety, hyperarousal, sensory reactivity, and behavioral difficulties that arise from overwhelm.
Marcia Braden on recognizing the signs of hyperarousal in children with Fragile X syndrome, and how and why it often precedes self-removal
Understanding why individuals with Fragile X syndrome are anxious with strategies on how to manage and prevent triggers.
These strategies are based on the fundamental principles of time-out, while incorporating adaptations that address the fact that children with Fragile X syndrome have language and attention difficulties that are best accommodated through additional considerations for repetition, consistency, and predictability.
Pay attention to your reaction; if you provide social, emotional, or negative attention, you are most likely reinforcing a behavior that will continue.
Why would hearing “Happy Birthday” provoke such a strong reaction? The answer is really quite simple. Children with FXS tend to find it very uncomfortable being the center of attention.
Direct questions are typically the way we try to engage people in conversation. However, for children with FXS, we need to learn other strategies.
An assortment of sensory-, routine-, and language-based daily life strategies from the experts at Developmental FX, drawn from evidence-based practice and knowledge of the neurocognitive development of children with FXS.
