Celebrate with us all year in 2025!

By Heather | Jan 9, 2025

2025 is shaping up to be an incredible year for Floreo and our community.

First and foremost, we are working on important expansions to Floreo’s immersive learning library, including lessons targeting social communication, safety, activities of daily living, and more. With your feedback, we’ve worked hard to create content that resonates with real-life challenges, helping Learners navigate social interactions and everyday situations with confidence. As one educator recently shared, "Our students love using Floreo in the classroom, and our staff is excited by the possibilities this technology brings." This enthusiasm inspires us to continue innovating and delivering meaningful experiences for Learners everywhere.

Additionally, Floreo is proud to be part of broader conversations about neurodiversity, inclusion, and assistive technology advancements. In 2025, we’ll deepen our partnerships with state programs, schools, therapists, and families worldwide, bringing cutting-edge VR solutions to more Learners than ever before. These collaborations are central to our mission of empowering neurodiverse individuals and fostering greater understanding. Stay tuned for more exciting updates as we continue this journey with you!


December's lesson release

Learners can practice social communication and conversational skills through a game of "Getting to Know You Bingo" with these new additions in Teen Talk: Social Squares. Explore their personalities, habits, and interests through this engaging social challenge!

Using Floreo in your clinic, school, or home

Floreo's Director of Applied Digital Therapy, Rita Solórzano MA, CCC-SLP, is a Speech Language Pathologist with over 30 years of experience.

Some individuals have a really difficult time learning other people's names. You might know of a young kiddo who has trouble learning the names of the other students in the classroom or the names of extended family members who are only visited occasionally. But this can also be an issue for older individuals as well. Knowing the names of your coworkers is an important social and safety skill. Do your Learners know the names of the Floreo characters? It could be helpful to start by using the Floreo lessons to understand which name learning strategies might be useful for your Learners.
