New genetic testing technologies such as microarrays and whole exome sequencing mean the diagnostic potential for a child with a development disorder is greatly increased over traditional testing techniques.  With this increased potential comes increased expectations from families and professionals about the answers a diagnosis will provide.  However, limitations remain and a proportion of individuals will continue to remain undiagnosed.  In addition, some individuals will receive novel or very rare diagnoses about which very little is known in terms of prognosis and effective treatments.  In this paper, I present an argument for why these families would benefit from additional Genetic Counsellor support and how Clinical Genetics services in the UK could provide this support.  I acknowledge that resources are limited, but as demands on services increase and interactions with families become shorter, I argue that these resources should be fought for, for the benefit of these families.
