Question 5

Is Verbalyft evidence-based?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Our activities are grounded in speech-language pathology research and developed in consultation with licensed SLPs. We use evidence-based techniques like spaced repetition, active recall, and scaffolded instruction.

Question 6

Does Verbalyft work for nonverbal children?

Accepted Answer

Verbalyft supports children across the communication spectrum. For pre-verbal and nonverbal children, we offer visual activities, tap-based games, and receptive language exercises that don't require speaking. As children develop, they can progress to speech-based activities at their own pace.

Can therapists use Verbalyft with their clients?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The Professional plan lets speech-language pathologists manage up to 10 client profiles, assign activities, track outcomes, and share progress reports with parents — all from a unified dashboard.
