The purpose of the study is to evaluate a 2-3 day treatment probe targeted to improving
social gaze behavior in children with fragile X syndrome (FXS). The investigators will use
the principles of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) to shape appropriate social skills.
Importantly, the investigators propose to examine the effects of this treatment probe on
brain and behavior.
