Does every child with Fragile X qualify for special education services?

Most children with Fragile X syndrome qualify for special education services, as the services are based on the child’s needs. Education can be complemented by a variety of therapies that will help your child become more independent in the transitions from childhood through adolescence and into adulthood. The NFXF has many resources to navigate special education services, education, genetic counseling, a variety of therapies, and other services.
