Using Floreo in your clinic, school, or home

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.

Getting ready for the start of school? As summer winds down, and students get ready to return to school, preparation strategies go into operation. Collecting pencil cases, binders, homework organizers and other tools can help focus students to the academic learning ahead. But, setting students up for success with social interactions and communication with peers and adults in the school setting can be just as important. Floreo has over 60 lessons that apply to school-based success.

FLOREO SUBSCRIPTIONS MAY BE COVERED

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. We have also had success with families in other states using 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!

Funding ideas

HOW CAN WE HELP YOU GAIN FUNDING FOR FLOREO?

We know that budgets can be tight, and we want to help get Floreo into the hands of anyone who needs it! Please let us know if you need help writing up your DonorsChoose application or with information for a grant you have identified. This is a great resource to find available grants.

IDEA and Title I funds are also great sources to help you access a Floreo subscription.
