When working with a child with Fragile X syndrome, it is important to:
1. Pace the assessment because the child will become anxious if it is done too quickly.
2. Make direct eye contact so that the child knows you are speaking.
3. Perform a passive range of motion exercises.
4. Postpone immunizations until the child is able to understand what is occurring.
