Communication, sensory, motor, physiology & cognitive delays are commonly associated with Fragile X syndrome.
These delays can pose challenges for building toileting skills in childhood and retaining those skills throughout life.
Psychologist Dr Jennifer Epstein joined our webinar series to help parents and carers understand the type of approach that may be most successful for their child or adult, based on individualised factors.
This webinar focusses on support strategies for children to the age of 10.
Dr Epstein shared data from the US FORWARD Study which illustrates toileting skill development trajectories for female and male children with Fragile X syndrome, from early childhood to teens.
Dr Epstein is co-founder of South Shore Psychological Services in the US (Massachusetts).
She is a regular presenter for the National Fragile X Foundation in the US, and has many years of experience in Fragile X clinics and supporting individuals with Fragile X syndrome in her practice.

Part A November 2023.
Part B focussed on support strategies for older children and adults and was recorded on 2 December 2023.
