Summary

This trial explores how Fragile X Syndrome affects speech and hearing in children, using behavioral assessments, neuroimaging, and hearing tests.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for children who have Fragile X Syndrome, can sit by themselves, and come from homes where English is spoken. It's also open to those with typical development or a history of premature birth. Children who've had seizures in the last six months or were born before 36 weeks (except for preemies) cannot participate.
What is being tested?
The study investigates how kids with Fragile X Syndrome process sounds and learn speech. It involves behavioral assessments, brain imaging (fNIRS/EEG), and hearing tests to compare their abilities with typically developing children.
What are the potential side effects?
There are no direct side effects mentioned as this trial focuses on non-invasive assessments like neuroimaging and hearing tests rather than medication or surgical interventions.
