What SCAFLI is built on

Keep the Goal. Change the Support.

Students get the cues, visuals, or practice they need to work toward the same goal.

Skills Beyond One Room.

Familiar cues help students use a skill in therapy, in class, and at home.

Less Searching. More Supporting.

Make the material your student needs without hunting for something close enough.

Know Why It Helps.

Tap “Why this?” to see the reasoning and research behind a student's support.

Same goal. Different support.

Drag to see the same questions on a plain page and with SCAFLI's supports. Pick a level to see what changes, and who it's for.

Why it works

Maddy, school SLP and founder

Why I built SCAFLI

Every student has different needs: more support, references, communication boards, modifications, or a routine they can count on.

Teachers, SLPs, special educators and families know how to help and support them, but don't always have the time and resources to make it all happen.

That's why I built SCAFLI. Research-informed supports, ready in minutes and easy to share, so every student has the materials, language and access they need to learn, communicate and build life skills. Wherever their day takes them, the right support can go with them.
