What is fragile X?
Fragile X is caused by a mutation on the X chromosome. A tiny section of genetic material within a gene is repeated too many times. This causes a constriction in the chromosome and the gene does not create the protein it is supposed to, those proteins are needed for normal brain development.
Symptoms of fragile X

What preference assessments are there?
Free operant Single item Paired MSWO MSW
What is free operant pF?
A free operant preference assessment involves setting up an area with a selection of toys/games or other tangible items. An observation of the child is then carried out. Data should be taken on whether the child approaches an item, if the child engages with the item and the duration the child plays with it.
Why use free operant PF?
A free operant preference assessment might be used when you first meet a client or pupil (preliminary assessment), if a child does not yet have the skills to make a choice, if a child engages in very challenging behaviour when items are taken away from him/her or if you notice a child only selects from one side or side bias.
Disadvantages of free operant PF
The downside to this assessment is that the child might only play with one item for the whole of the predetermined observation period. This does not give you a full spectrum of other reinforces that might motivate the child.
What is a paired PF
A paired choice assessment is used to create a hierarchy of the child’s preferences. It involves showing the child two items, these usually are toys or edibles, and asking them to make a choice
Why use paired choice PF
This assessment should not be used if a child does not yet have the skills to make a choice, unable to scan two or more items on a surface, if a child engages in very challenging behaviour when items are taken away from him/her or if you notice a child only selects from one side or side bias.
Disadvantages of Paired PF
The downside of this assessment is that it can be quite time consuming as it requires more trials.
What is a MSWO
The assessment involves placing up to 7 items in front of the child and asking them to make a choice. Once they have spent time with that item or eaten the edible, it is removed, and they are asked to make another choice. This process is completed until there are no items left. The items that are chosen first would be the highest preferred items.
Why use a MSWO
This assessment should not be used if a child does not yet have the skills to make a choice, unable to scan two or more items on a surface, or if a child engages in very challenging behaviour when items are taken away from him/her.
What is a MSW
This is a more time consuming assessment than the MSWO but the child will always have the option of choosing the same toy/edible. The assessment is complete when a set number of trials for each item has been presented or the child refuses to make any more choices
