Celebrate Spooky Season with a New Floreo Lesson! ??
As we send out this week’s newsletter, we want to acknowledge the devastation caused by the recent Helene disaster, which has deeply impacted parts of the southeastern US, including some of our customers and one of our colleagues. Our thoughts are with all affected during this challenging time. For those looking to support relief efforts, organizations like the Red Cross are providing critical aid. Please stay safe, and know that we are here to support our community.

Attention Medicaid Families
FLOREO CAN BE COVERED BY STATE PROGRAMS
Did you know that Floreo has programs in place with several state waivers? These programs, like the Children's Long Term Support waiver in Wisconsin, or the MAPS program in Tennesee will pay for a Floreo subscription and equipment rental for participating families. Families in other states have used self-directed funds or funds for assistive technology to purchase a Floreo subscription.?
The best place to start is with your family's service coordinator. Chat with them to see if they can help get a Floreo subscription in place. And if they have any questions, we're always happy to help!
