Sean,

If you are going to use aria-labelledby to add the question to the input for the answer selection you will need to also point to the id for the answer selection. When I have tested aria-labelled by overrides any existing bound labels. So it would look like this <input ... aria-labelledby="idOfQuestionHeading idOfAnswerText" ... /> This way a screen reader would read both.
