[J. T. K. Tobin · Rating 5 out of 5]

A must read for any special education teacher, parent, or someone who simply wants a glimpse into coping with Fragile X Syndrome.

Suzanne did not make this unduly verbose or bogged down by lots of medical terminology. It gives you practical insight, is based on real experience, and even provides personal stories from those living daily with Fragile X as part of their lives.
