Navigation without a mouse
If you are not able to control the movement of a mouse to click on navigational items, you can use the tab key on your keyboard. Each time you press the tab key another navigational button along the top and then down the left side continuing on to the right side navigation will highlight. When you are on the correct navigational selection just hit the enter key to go there. This may take some getting used to but it will allow you to find each item we have available.
Site map
One of the best ways to find the information you are looking for is to go to the Site Map. The Site Map is an outline of all of the pages in the National Fragile X Foundation web site. The Site Map link on the bottom of each page will get you there. By clicking on a topic in the outline, you can go directly to the page you are interested in.
Web site organization
Each page of this web site is designed to give you information about FXTAS. Not only are there topics highlighted throughout the pages, but there are often questions or articles at the bottom of the pages that lead to information that is more detailed.
For example, the topic "What is FXTAS " http://www.fxtas.org/what_is_fxtas.htm takes you to the page where the following is discussed:
History, Prevalence, Cause, FXTAS vs. FXS, Symptoms in Males, Symptoms in Females
Search box
Another way to find something is to use the Search this Site on the right hand sidebar. Type in the term you are interested in, mouse click on Find! and you will get a list of the pages that have information about that topic.
File trail "Bread Crumbs"
A helpful tool is the "Bread Crumbs" in the upper bar on top of each page. It allows you to move one or more steps up in the outline. For example if you see the following:
Home » What is FXTAS » Prevalence of FXTAS ,
it means you are on the page about Prevalence, in the What is FXTAS file, etc. If you want to move back up to information about What is FXTAS, simply click on that term and you will get to a more general discussion of the issue.
Cautions
The goal of this web site is to provide basic information concerning FXTAS. It should be understood that there are rare exceptions to almost everything we talk about. In order to focus on the broad patterns, we will not always identify possible exceptions.
Don't be surprised if you find more information than you want. Very few people will be interested in exploring all of the areas on this web site.
