This book brings up to date research with information and advice from teachers who are discovering, first hand, the best ways of educating children with Fragile X. It is much needed support and advice that will help teachers to understand the child with Fragile X and encourage maximum educational progress.

While the book is aimed at teachers, it is also an excellent resource for parents, therapists and any professional working with a child who has Fragile X.
