Neurodevelopmental Genetics Counselling

Neurodevelopmental genetics counseling is a process that helps individuals and families understand genetic factors related to developmental disorders, such as autism or intellectual disabilities. During counseling, a trained professional discusses how genes may influence these conditions, assesses family history, and explains potential risks for future generations. The counselor provides information on diagnosis, available tests, and management options, aiming to empower families with knowledge to make informed decisions about health and support. This approach helps navigate complexities of neurogenetic conditions in a supportive and informative way.
