Supporting the Developmental Needs of Children After Newborn Genomic Sequencing

SERVICE Study

SERVICE Study logo

SERVICE is a research study funded by the National Institutes of Health.

We are a collaboration with four newborn sequencing studies located across the U.S.:

Our goal is to understand the experience of families with early intervention services for their child after whole genome sequencing.

What is early intervention? 

  • Developmental services like physical, occupational or speech therapy, and care coordination, often delivered at home
  • For infants and toddlers under age 3
