Genetic Counseling

Genetic Counseling at Utage Child Development Centre is designed to help families understand how genetics may influence their child’s health, development, or risk for inherited conditions. Whether your child has been diagnosed with a genetic disorder, shows signs of developmental delays, or you have a family history of certain conditions—our expert counseling can guide you with clarity and confidence.

What is Genetic Counseling?

Genetic counseling is a medical service that helps you:

• Understand how genetic conditions occur and are inherited

• Learn about available testing options (before or after birth)

• Interpret test results and their meaning for your child

• Make informed decisions about care, management, and future planning

• Get emotional support and accurate medical information

When Should You Consider Genetic Counseling?

Genetic counseling is recommended if:

• Your child has developmental delays, intellectual disabilities, or physical abnormalities

• There’s a known genetic disorder or chromosomal condition in the family

• You’re planning another pregnancy and want to assess genetic risk

• You’ve received abnormal genetic test results or screening outcomes

• Your child is undergoing evaluation for autism, epilepsy, or neurodevelopmental disorders

What to Expect?

During a session, our counselor will:

• Review your family and medical history in detail

• Recommend appropriate genetic tests (if needed)

• Help interpret complex test results in easy-to-understand terms

• Provide emotional support and guidance throughout the process

• Connect you with further resources or specialists if required
