Use our “About Me” template for back to school and work success!
Starting school and work comes with a lot of preparing–do I have everything I need, will I make new friends, and how do I explain Fragile X. While we can’t be physically be there to help with the first two, we have a solution for the third! And our solution may help with one and two as well.
Use our customizable “About Me” template to explain Fragile X and how it impacts you and/or your loved one in a school or work setting.
Complete the pages using the fillable PDF format or print it out and write in your information. We suggest adding lots of pictures to make it more interesting! This resource includes our popular 10 Things Teachers Should Know About Fragile X Syndrome and 10 Things Everyone Should Know About Fragile X Syndrome articles at the end.
We are here to help set you up for success! Let us know how your “About Me” template worked for you.
