A range of methods has been applied in research to enable children and young people with special educational needs and/or disabilities to share their views about educational experiences. However, methods tend to be targeted at older children and those who can communicate verbally and so there remains an important gap in knowledge about the methods used to support children with complex needs to share their views. This systematic literature review addresses this gap by exploring the creative methods that have been developed and used to facilitate the voices of children and young people with complex needs about their educational experiences and preferences. Additionally, methods were analysed conceptually in relation to Lundy's (2007)framework of Space, Voice, Audience and Influence to examine where, how and whose voices are heard, and what happens as a result. Fourteen qualitative papers published between 2003 and 2021 were included and synthesised according to PRISMA guidelines. Findings emphasize how it is possible to access the views of children and young people with complex needs using multi-modal, flexible approaches that require spending time with children, families, and practitioners to co-construct knowledge. The importance of a toolbox approach to enabling voice and participation challenges more orthodox and standardised methods of data collection. However, more needs to be done to ensure that children's views are acted upon, given due weight, and influence change.

研究中采用了一系列方法，使有特殊教育需求和/或残疾的儿童和青少年能够分享他们对教育经历的看法。然而，这些方法往往针对年龄较大的儿童和那些可以口头交流的儿童，因此在用于支持有复杂需求的儿童分享观点的方法方面仍然存在重要的知识差距。这篇系统的文献综述通过探索已经开发和用于促进对教育经历和偏好有复杂需求的儿童和年轻人的声音的创造性方法来解决这一差距。此外，还根据 Lundy (2007) 的空间、声音、观众和影响框架对方法进行了概念性分析，以检查在哪里、如何以及谁的声音被听到，以及结果会怎样。根据 PRISMA 指南，纳入并综合了 2003 年至 2021 年间发表的 14 篇定性论文。调查结果强调了如何使用多模式、灵活的方法来获取具有复杂需求的儿童和年轻人的观点，这些方法需要花时间与儿童、家庭和从业者共同构建知识。工具箱方法对支持发言权和参与的重要性挑战了更正统和标准化的数据收集方法。然而，还需要做更多工作以确保儿童的意见得到采纳、给予应有的重视并影响改变。调查结果强调了如何使用多模式、灵活的方法来获取具有复杂需求的儿童和年轻人的观点，这些方法需要花时间与儿童、家庭和从业者共同构建知识。工具箱方法对支持发言权和参与的重要性挑战了更正统和标准化的数据收集方法。然而，还需要做更多工作以确保儿童的意见得到采纳、给予应有的重视并影响改变。调查结果强调了如何使用多模式、灵活的方法来获取具有复杂需求的儿童和年轻人的观点，这些方法需要花时间与儿童、家庭和从业者共同构建知识。工具箱方法对支持发言权和参与的重要性挑战了更正统和标准化的数据收集方法。然而，还需要做更多工作以确保儿童的意见得到采纳、给予应有的重视并影响改变。
