Understanding the Fragile X Learning Style for Better Results

By Tracy & Ruth, Developmental FX|2023-03-13T14:21:50-04:00Mar 20, 2014|Daily Living, School and Education, Treatment and Intervention|

We often remind fellow interventionists and educators time and time again about the many unique aspects of Fragile X syndrome as well as the resources available online and in print.

Behavior Modification in the Classroom

By NFXF|2023-03-13T14:30:53-04:00May 30, 2013|Behavior, Braden on Behavior, School and Education, Treatment and Intervention|

Watching a student with FXS struggle is difficult when their behavior is affected by those characteristics that make up the Fragile X phenotype.

Is Your Child’s Behavior a Manifestation of Their Disability?

By Marcia Braden|2023-03-13T14:17:16-04:00Feb 22, 2013|Braden on Behavior, School and Education, Treatment and Intervention|

Before school authorities consider suspension and possible expulsion, they need to determine whether threatening someone may have been the only way that the person with Fragile X syndrome could express the gravity of their personal discomfort.

Reading, Writing, and Behavior?

By Marcia Braden|2023-03-13T14:20:46-04:00Feb 6, 2013|Braden on Behavior, School and Education, Treatment and Intervention|

Best practice for those affected with FXS means providing a learning environment that allows them to access the curriculum in ways that minimize their disruptive behaviors.
