We are proud to share that Kate Ellor, Senior Audiologist at Seashell, has had an article published in BATOD Magazine, the professional journal of the British Association for Teachers of the Deaf.

The article presents a case study demonstrating how personalised, flexible audiology approaches can enable hearing assessments for children and young adults with complex needs who may struggle to access traditional clinical services. It highlights the importance of calm, familiar environments and close collaboration between audiology, education and therapy professionals.
Speaking about the publication, Kate said: “I was really pleased to share this work with the BATOD community and represent the specialist, collaborative approach we take at Seashell. This case highlights how flexible, person‑centred audiology approaches, alongside strong multi‑disciplinary collaboration, can make assessment accessible for children and young adults with complex needs. At Seashell, we are proud to offer specialist audiology support not only to our own students but also externally to community users, helping ensure that more young people can access hearing assessments in environments that truly meet their needs.”
Kate’s work reflects Seashell’s commitment to integrated, specialist support and to sharing learning that improves access and outcomes for young people with complex needs, both within our organisation and across the wider community.
