New AI characters and a revamped airport security lesson available now!
Exciting news! We're thrilled to announce a brand new, Floreo lesson featuring interactive AI characters designed for freeform conversations! This innovative experience allows Learners to practice communication skills in a dynamic and engaging way, fostering confidence and creativity. Participation in these optional lessons requires consent to use the microphone and these generative AI features.
Your Learners can explore diverse topics and scenarios, all while enjoying the supportive environment that Floreo offers. Help enhance conversational skills like never before!
We've also revamped one of our perenially popular lessons: our Airport Security lesson. Enjoy practice with a more realistic experience including new characters, additional distractions, and the opportunity to practice being pulled out of the line for additional questioning by the TSA officers.?

INFO FROM OUR DIRECTOR OF APPLIED DIGITAL THERAPY
Floreo's Director of?Applied?Digital?Therapy,?Rita Solórzano MA,?CCC-SLP, is a Speech Language Pathologist with over 30 years of experience.
Many of the Floreo Emotional Regulation lessons focus on body awareness. Awareness of one's own body can play a significant role in understanding and managing one's stress level. It is also important for learning new physical movements, for identifying physical needs (for example, discomfort or pain one might be experiencing), and for building strong social relationships.

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!
