This interactive, family-friendly presentation focuses on considerations for school-age children with Fragile X syndrome.
Our expert panel discusses the issues around caring for young children with Fragile X syndrome, including speech development, integrating with their typical siblings, occupational therapy, behavioral issues, and much much more.
These findings provide preliminary information about the early language learning environment and support for the feasibility of utilizing an automated vocal analysis system within the FXS population that could ease data collection and further our understanding of the emergence of language development.
Individuals with Fragile X syndrome often have difficulty establishing meaningful friendships. Limited social skills, social anxiety, and an often narrow range of interests contribute to these difficulties. Here, we discuss various interventions that can increase their social network.
We discuss verbal perseveration, a very typical and pervasive aspect of language in Fragile X syndrome. Does verbal perseveration interfere with daily living and activities? On the list of questions parents ask the most often, verbal perseveration is at the top.
Video modeling utilizes readily available technology to provide a model of appropriate social, language, behavior, or specific targeted daily living or job skills.
When discussing FXS and behavior, it is important to note that — like every person — the focus should not only be on the challenging behaviors you may see. It is essential that parents look at the whole person. Some behaviors may result from the condition, many of which are positive, and they are the behaviors you will see most often.
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.
