This article reports the development and evaluation of a toolkit-based approach to eliciting children's experiences of educational support, where the children in question experience speech and communication needs. The ?Your Voice Your Choice? approach was evaluated using a cross-case analysis methodology, which represents a novel approach to critical examination of the effectiveness of such resources. We explored seven case studies within a critical realist framework. We found that the toolkit was effective at supporting most (although not all) of the children with speech and communication needs to explore their school learning and support experiences through a scaffolded emotion-based ?dialogue?, which was corroborated by observations and other data sources. The toolkit facilitated access to children's voice as they revealed how they felt across a number of relational, learning and support areas, which could be used by services to focus provision and consider how to better support children's social and emotional needs.

评估一种方法，在有言语，语言和交流需求的儿童中激发儿童对教育支持的声音

本文报告了一种基于工具包的方法的开发和评估，该方法用于激发儿童的教育支持经验，其中有问题的儿童会经历语音和交流需求。您选择的声音是什么？使用跨案例分析方法对这种方法进行了评估，该方法代表了一种对此类资源的有效性进行严格检查的新颖方法。我们在一个关键的现实主义框架内探索了七个案例研究。我们发现，该工具包可有效地支持大多数（尽管不是全部）有言语和交流需求的孩子，通过基于情感的“对话”搭建支架，探索他们在学校的学习和支持经历，这一点得到了观察和其他数据来源的证实。 。该工具包促进了儿童的接触
