Treatment Recommendations

The treatment and intervention recommendations for the three primary Fragile X-associated conditions —FXS, FXTAS, and FXPOI— are written by professionals, with input from parents and other caregivers. The target audience is families, caregivers and those with the condition. The documents can also be used to inform professionals who are not overly familiar with Fragile X.

The NFXF’s Treatment Recommendations are not formal scientific papers and are not considered formal “Guidelines;” they are summaries that communicate existing knowledge and intervention strategies in a more family-friendly way than papers written by and for professionals. The content is generally based on expert opinion and consensus by those who have extended experience in the Fragile X field. Wherever possible, the content also includes data and scientific evidence-based recommendations. Parents, family members and other caregivers are encouraged to read and share the documents. Scientific papers are referenced in the documents for those who wish to further explore the literature.

Note: Some are also available in Spanish (below the English versions) with more coming. You can also read all the treatment recommendations online.
