The Fragile X Alliance of Ohio was started in 1996 by a group of parents in the Cleveland, Ohio metropolitan area who have children affected by Fragile X Syndrome.

The Goals of the group are to:

1. Provide mutual support and information to Fragile X families in Ohio.

2. Promote the education and awareness of Fragile X Syndrome to physicians, therapists, educators and the general public.
3. Support and promote research on Fragile X Syndrome.

We are a local chapter of the FRAXA Research Foundation and a resource group for the National Fragile X Foundation. All families are welcome to join our group - we all share the common bond of having Fragile X syndrome in our families - affecting our lives and those of our children.


Fragile X syndrome (FXS), the most common cause of inherited mental impairment. This impairment can range from learning disabilities to more severe cognitive or intellectual disabilities. FXS is the most common known cause of autism or "autistic-like" behaviors. Symptoms also can include characteristic physical and behavioral features and delays in speech and language development.
