The New School Year -Getting Ready for the Autumn Term
Snippets of Advice
Since joining the Fragile X Society as a Families and Professional Advisor, I have found that we are regularly contacted with common issues and queries affecting the Fragile X community that can be shared more openly on the website. I want to take this opportunity to deal with real issues in a practical and everyday manner and offer some useful snippets of advice.
We will also be featuring some guest posts from other experts in the field.
