Description
This research project involves information regarding an inherited neurodevelopment disability known as fragile X syndrome. Areas researched include background information on the syndrome, behavioral, physical and cognitive characteristics of individuals who have this syndrome. This project has a specific focus on the speech and language characteristics. To supplement the information, the researcher conducted a qualitative study involving a mother of two sons diagnosed with fragile X. The qualitative process included an interview of the mother, transcription of the interview, coding of results, and the identification of categories. Final assertions were made based on the triangulation of the data. The researcher was able to gain knowledge about the experiences from the family of children with fragile X syndrome.
