The return after a long break can be a difficult transition for anyone, especially an individual living with FXS. With thoughtful planning and a compassionate approach, the entire support team can help ease the process.
The Belonging Project, one of our newest initiatives, aims to intentionally extend our reach to underserved and underrepresented communities across the United States. Hear from each of the three Fragile X clinics and our own in-house belonging survey, on how we’ve begun work to understand the challenges to diagnosis, treatment, and feeling a sense of community belonging faced by Black, Hispanic, and Native American groups and the providers who serve them.
Make a difference and take the Belonging in FX Survey today! Belonging is when each member of a community is treated and feels like a full member of that community. Sharing your experiences will help us close the gap in diversity, promoting inclusion and belonging within the Fragile X community.
Gene therapies are being developed at a rapid rate. Although there are currently no FDA-approved or interventional gene therapies for FXS, the future has never looked brighter for treating the root cause of FXS!

We live in a day and age of social sharing, and that is not going anywhere. However, when we participate in a clinical trial, we have to understand that we cannot share everything in order to protect the integrity of the trial.
October is a time that draws the attention of the nation on critical issues related to disability employment, bringing awareness to a subject that we know has importance all year round. We know many individuals living with Fragile X want to work and though some do, not everyone who wants a job has found one that best fits their strengths and skillsets. We are determined to help you educate yourself on the supports that exist and how to best advocate for you or your loved ones needs in the workplace.
