Clinical audiologists frequently encounter patients with complex needs, making assessment and intervention more demanding. This panel presentation will explore real-world case studies involving individuals who are difficult to test or require tailored approaches due to developmental, cognitive, behavioral, or medical complexities. Presenters will share effective strategies, clinical insights, and practical tools that have led to successful outcomes in these challenging scenarios. Emphasis will be placed on creative assessment techniques, individualized intervention planning, and collaborative decision-making with patients and their families.

Learning Objectives: 

1. Participants will be able to identify effective strategies for assessing complex patients.
2. Participants will be able to outline key considerations when developing individualized intervention plans for challenging cases.
3. Participants will be able to describe shared decision-making approaches that engage patients and families in the care process.
