Cindi Rogers' first book,
Becoming Mrs. Rogers is now available on Amazon.com at the link below.
This book was a labor of love for Cindi, as well as her husband, Chris. The process
has been a wonderful learning experience and going forward will continue to
require more learning.
Fragile X is a common and inherited cause of learning
difficulties, affecting a child's entire world, including social and behavioral
problems as well as cognition and speech. Rogers not only tells her story, but
also gives advice for new parents, sharing facts about…
* the physical and behavioral characteristics of Fragile X
* the effects of Fragile X on learning, functioning and
daily activities
* medication and therapy
* how fragile X affects the family.
Cindi Rogers and her husband, Chris, share the perspectives
and tools they embraced in order to help their boys be as happy and independent
as they can possibly be. It is a story of challenges, tears, joy and hope.
**A portion of the proceeds of this book are donated to the
Rogers Neighborhood FX Family Fund which in turn offers scholarships to the
NFXF International bi-yearly FX Conferences.**
Cindi is the mother of two sons, ages 23 and 25, who are
affected with fragile X syndrome and autism. Since receiving this diagnosis,
Cindi has become a leader and symbol of hope within the fragile X community.
Her positive attitude, creativity and defining can-do attitude has
inspired families and professionals worldwide. Cindi and her family have
travelled to conferences around the world to present her innovative strategies,
helping families not only to live with fragile X, but to also thrive. It has
become her personal mission to share techniques to help families generate ideas
that they can implement in their own world, while helping their children with
fragile X syndrome to live happier, more independent lives. Today, Cindi serves
on the board of directors for Developmental FX in Denver, a non-profit that
helps families just like hers learn to thrive in the face of fragile X
syndrome. She lives and works with her husband and two sons in Littleton,
Colorado, and together they love travelling the U.S. in their RV named Rocket.
*I met this handsome guy in Mrs. Johnson's 7th grade French
class. He courted me for 8 years and then we married. I'm pleased
to say that through tears, joy and challenges we have endured 29 years of
marriage. It hasn't always been "peaches & cream", but
we've emerged as a strong, loving couple. I wouldn't have shared this
fragile X journey with anyone else.*
