"Living and Learning the Fragile X Way"

An Overview and Introduction to Care Mapping

In honor of World Fragile X Awareness Day, we are so excited to share this resource with you and to provide a preview of the offerings that will be available through our upcoming Fragile X Academy. Grounded in decades of research and experience working with the Fragile X population, The Fragile X Academy will provide training series for parents, caregivers, therapy providers, and school teams that promote a deeper understanding of Fragile X syndrome and best practices for ‘living and learning the Fragile X way.’ In Part 1, Tracy provides a brief overview of Fragile X syndrome and an introduction to the benefits of using care mapping to promote comprehensive, Fragile X informed care. In the second video, viewers have the opportunity to watch as Tracy and Karen walk through the care mapping process in relation to Karen’s son with Fragile X syndrome. We hope you find this information valuable and we look forward to the launch of The Fragile X Academy later this year.
