Receive your genetic testing results

  1. You will participate in a 30 minute post-test genetic counseling session to receive the results
  2. The session will be scheduled at a time convenient for you
  3. The purpose of this session is to review the results of the genetic testing

Visit a Pediatric Neurologist or another
appropriate specialist

  1. Based on the results of your genetic tests, the Project FIND-OUT team will work with your primary care physician to help you schedule an appointment with a Pediatric Neurologist or other relevant physician
  2. The purpose of the appointment is to discuss any findings from the genetic test, potential diagnoses, and next steps to ensure your child is getting the right care and treatment

Complete follow-up forms

  1. You will be asked to complete some online forms at 12 weeks and 12 months after your post-test genetic counseling session. These forms will take less than 30 minutes to complete. These forms will collect your feedback on Project FIND-OUT and will help us understand if the genetic testing was valuable for your child and your family.
  2. You will also be invited to participate in a telephone interview to provide feedback on Project FIND-OUT.
