Request for input – Revising the BATOD Audiology guidelines for the assessment of children with special needs 

BATOD has partnered with BSA and BAEA to update the 2020 publication for a current day, UK wide, context.  A multidisciplinary working group, made up of a wide range of educational and clinical professionals, is currently revising the Audiology Assessment guidance document as a joint publication. Two questionnaires have been developed to gather feedback and ensure the revised document is clear, practical, and genuinely supports those who will access and use it in practice.

Professionals are invited to complete whichever questionnaire is most relevant to their role. Each questionnaire takes approximately 30 minutes to complete. Responses are welcome from individuals; teams may also wish to collate ideas or set aside time to discuss and complete the questionnaire together.  A PDF/printable version of the survey is available to support drafting a response ahead of submission via the Teams Forms link.

If you have a particular interest or experience in this area, your views would be extremely valuable in shaping the final document.  This survey will close on 15th May 2026.
