DIAL: Developmental Index of Audition & Listening

Developed by Palmer & Mormer (1999, revised 2018), the Developmental Index of Audition and Listening (DIAL) is a tool used by audiologists to systematically evaluate current abilities and needs of the child as related to the range of auditory signals used in every day life at a particular stage of development. It provides a guideline of auditory milestones for specific age groups.
