Females with Fragile X Syndrome: Health, Wellness, and Fertility
Panelists: Vicki Wilkins, Deby Barbouth, Heather Hipp, and Makenzie Woltz
Incredible multidisciplinary panel who can address specific questions families and self-advocates have about health, wellness, and fertility. We are excited to have a special focus on females, as girls and women sometimes feel neglected and their needs are different. The goal is to address any differences or specifics to females with FXS how to live a healthy life (physically, mentally), navigate puberty & sexuality, and plan for their future. We’d anticipate topics that will come up will include talking about health and wellness broadly, touching on physical and mental health, as well as talking through puberty & sexuality, including menstruation through family planning options.
