Achieving the clinical goal of genetic counseling continues to be the proper role of all professionals who deal with disorders and conditions that have a genetic component. That group includes the SLP. One major problem is determining when information can be given generally and when referral to a genetic counselor is needed. Another problem is helping the public accept the idea of genetic counseling as one useful part of the health care system. Of special importance now is the development of new methods for identifying the genetic contribution to diseases and disorders. Careful attention is needed for the effective integration of this new technology into our patterns of health care delivery and public health policy in general.
