There is no treatment for Fragile X syndrome. It's a genetic impairment that causes developmental delays. Developmental delays require special education interventions. The child will need to have an evaluation by an agency in your area. Services can be provided in the home under age three, and depending on the service delivery model there, the child may be able to go to public school at age three. Best wishes to you.
Here are emails to two leading physicians in fragile X that may help you:
