SERVICES WE OFFER
Developmental FX is available to provide assessments, treatment (including treatment intensives), consultation, consultation clinics, training, mentoring, and lecturing. In addition, we are developing resources such as video tapes and CD ROM’s which will be helpful for educating others about Fragile X Syndrome and other neurodevelopmental disorders.
 
  ASSESSMENTS
  Developmental FX can provide a full team assessment involving speech, occupational therapy and psychology. We can also provide any one or combination of these evaluations as needed. This team approach is unique and critical for the assessment of Fragile X Syndrome and other neurodevelopmental disorders. The recommendations from our assessments provide an integrated view of the child with medications and intervention plans intertwined and prioritized to maximize individualized development.
Thoughtful case conferences with families complete the assessment process, where the information is shared and priorities and recommendations established.

  TREATMENT
  Individual and Group based speech and occupational therapies as well as psychological services are available at Developmental FX. This is true for local individuals as well as for anyone who wishes to come to beautiful Denver, Colorado and participate in a treatment intensive.

Treatment Intensives provide a unique opportunity for individuals who either do not have access to specialized or appropriate treatment, or simply desire more in depth intervention at a given point in time. Individualized programs are established for those individuals who desire this opportunity. In general, a family would travel to Denver to stay for a week, month or even longer. During this time the child would receive the desired therapies on an individualized intensive schedule. Program planning for the future can be built into the therapy intensive.

  CONSULTATION CLINICS
  Let the experts come to you. Three master clinicians have come together to provide an opportunity to access their expertise without disrupting your child's schedule. Marcia Braden, PhD, licensed psychologist and special education consultant, Tracy Stackhouse, OTR, occupational therapist and Sara Scharfenaker, MA, speech pathologist, have formed an integrative team to consult with you about your child with Fragile X Syndrome (FXS). These experts can provide consultation related to the following areas:
  • Behavior management
  • Education strategies
  • Sensory processing
  • Fine and gross motor skills
  • Speech and language
  • Eating, feeding and toileting difficulties

Consultation Clinics can easily be arranged in your city for up to ten families over a three day period of time. The setting for the clinic is up to you: hotel board rooms have worked well in the past but physician's offices and school classrooms are excellent options as well.

  TRAINING & MENTORING
  Developmental FX offers several unique training and mentoring programs. This can be done on site or at our Denver office. Families and professionals will want to take advantage of these programs. Some therapists have chosen to work side by side with our staff by coming to Denver and co-treating or observing some of our treatment and assessment sessions. Others prefer to have our staff come to them and provide the training/mentoring at their site. Sometimes the training is set up in conjunction with a treatment intensive, where a family will bring their child to see us and have their therapist accompany them to insure carry over of programming.
All training and mentoring is set up on an individualized basis.
