Our practice is dedicated to providing families with access to the latest advancements in pediatric care. For children experiencing developmental delays or intellectual disabilities, genetic testing can help identify underlying causes and inform medical care and support services. We partner with GeneDx, a leader in pediatric genetic testing, to facilitate access to testing and support throughout the entire process. 

The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) currently recommends comprehensive genetic testing as part of the evaluation for many children with developmental delays or intellectual disabilities. When appropriate, the Children's Clinic of Wyomissing takes the initial step by administering the test, which is then analyzed by GeneDx.
