Back to School: Helping You and Your Child Feel Prepared

✏️ Back to School: Helping You and Your Child Feel Prepared

As we begin the summer holidays, many families will already be thinking ahead to the new school year. Whether your child is returning to a familiar classroom or transitioning to a new setting or teacher, we know that change can bring a mix of excitement and anxiety — especially for children with Fragile X Syndrome.

To support you during this time, we’ve created a Back to School Pack full of helpful tips, visuals, and practical strategies based on the learning profile of children with Fragile X. These resources are designed to help reduce anxiety, support transitions, and ensure a smoother return to school for everyone involved.

Here’s what’s included in the pack:

🔹 A guide packed with practical strategies for teachers and support staff

🔹 Easy-to-use visual supports

🔹 Further details about the Fragile X learning profile

🔹 Social stories and visuals to use at home over the summer

🔹 Information about our eLearning course

🔹 Guide specifically about females and tips on how to support in education

We encourage families to share these materials with school staff, especially if your child is moving to a new classroom or working with unfamiliar adults. The more they understand the Fragile X learning style, the better they can support your child from day one.
