Fragile X Newsletter October 2017

October 11th, 2017

The October newsletter profiles the Fragile X Community Days in Brisbane and Hobart – which will feature experts Dr Marcia Braden, educational psychologist and special educator from the US, and Dr Jonathan Cohen from the Fragile X Alliance Clinics in Melbourne.

Other news includes updates on research endeavours, and a recent media campaign on Fragile X carrier screening.

Raising awareness and some fundraising efforts were a highlight in July, and our ongoing campaign to generate increased awareness of Fragile X in the medical community have culminated in video resources on the ThinkGP education portal for GPs.

All this and more in the October newsletter:
