Sparks that Ignite: Seeing Strengths First

Fragile X is often viewed through a scientific lens, focused on challenges, deficits, and complexities. But within families and communities, a different perspective emerges: one that celebrates the unique strengths, talents, and abilities of individuals with Fragile X syndrome.
