A new version of the TOM User Guide is now due to be published early in 2025. This will include updates to some existing scales and also newly developed scales. Plans are underway to update the ROOT to reflect updates and to add new scales. In the meantime, you can check the expected changes in this list.

Have you seen our social media posts using your ROOT data to help raise awareness of speech and language therapy? If you record data for children using the developmental language disorder scale, you might be interested in this quick ‘how to’ for comparing your own data to the statistics we found for DLD awareness day. 

Don't forget that there are a number of additional fields which services can ‘opt into’ on ROOT, including new fields, designed to help services with monitoring and identifying inequalities. Services can also create their own fields, for example to record local teams or pathways. Find out more about collecting additional data fields here. 

Come along to our next ROOT drop-in on Tuesday 19 November 1-2pm. Whatever stage of your ROOT journey, you can meet the team, ask questions and learn more.

This month we are launching new opt-in fields, designed to help services with monitoring and identifying inequalities. You can read an interview with SLTs involved in our pilot in the Autumn Bulletin (pages 52-53) and find out more about collecting additional data fields here.
