What on earth is 'Genetic investigation'???

Finnian

Hello, my 7 year old boy is currently going through the assesment stages. I recieved a letter that may as well have been written in German!! I don't understand the terms used., anyone know what these are? 'ASC pathway'? and 'CAF'? Also, they are asking for an appointment with him for 'Genetic investigation'?

not even understanding the letters they send has left me feeling really frustrated...How can I make the right decision for my son if I have no idea what they are on about??!!!! Thankyou everyone

  • Well, even more confusingly, the letter isnt addressed to me, but they sent it to me. Its actually written for the head specialist at 'honeylands' in exeter. where i assume children are assessed....  Heres the letter..... from 'integrated childrens service assessment team'

    Finnians case has been discussed at our multi-agency hub meeting and it was agreed that he should go on the ASC pathway, as well as initiating a CAF, Mandy mills, specialist neuro developmental lead for integrated childrens services, has asked me also to request that you offer finnian an appointment for genetic investigation. I have enclosed the gp referral and a SALT report.

     

    now if THATS not confusing i dont know what is....i dont even know who to ask as it isnt addressed to me :(
