Our Approach

Verbo’s aim is to help education staff identify needs early, put the right support in place, and build inclusive, consistent practice across whole settings.

Who Verbo can Support

Verbo is a digital toolkit of screeners, practical strategies and ready-to-use resources, designed primarily to strengthen universal and targeted provision by helping staff identify needs early and put effective support in place.

Verbo supports staff working with pupils with more complex needs by helping them apply and embed specialist advice in everyday practice.

Reinforces SaLT and OT recommendations with practical activities and ideas
Helps staff build confidence in delivering targets consistently across the setting
Supports access to training and strategies to complement specialist input
Encourages appropriate referral pathways where specialist input is needed

Verbo does not replace specialist services and should be used alongside guidance from SaLTs, OTs and other professionals.

Verbo helps staff identify pupils who need additional support and put targeted strategies in place early.

Quickly highlights pupils who may need extra support
Provides clear, practical next steps staff can use straight away
Builds confidence in adapting support to meet individual needs
Helps gather evidence to inform referrals and conversations with specialists

Verbo supports all pupils by helping staff create inclusive, communication-friendly environments where everyone can access learning.

Builds staff confidence in recognising and responding to a range of needs
Embeds consistent, whole-setting approaches
Supports inclusive teaching with practical, easy-to-use strategies
Uses data insights to highlight patterns of need and inform staff training and CPD priorities

What is Verbo?

Verbo is an NHS-developed toolkit designed to make it easier for education staff to identify needs and support pupils in everyday practice.

It was created by a Speech and Language Therapy clinical lead at Homerton Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust and is still shaped by practising therapists today.

Verbo combines clinical expertise with practical tools, including screeners, clear next steps, strategies, activities and training resources, helping staff take action with confidence. It also provides insights to highlight patterns of need across a school and inform support and staff development.
