Coming soon: our Greetings lessons are getting a makeover!

MovieTheater_Friendly

We're giving our popular Greetings lessons a fresh new look! Greetings are often the first step in building meaningful social connections, so we're redesigning these lessons to create more natural, engaging, and realistic interactions for Learners!

In these lessons, fan-favorite characters Alejandro and Nicki are back and ready to help Learners practice starting conversations with confidence. We can't wait for you to see what's coming!

We're growing!

We're excited to be hiring two dynamic Sales Directors in the Central US: one focused on Education and one focused on Healthcare.

Lesson highlight

Floreo releases new content regularly, and we know it can sometimes be hard to decide which lessons to focus on with your Learner. To help, we'll be featuring some of our earlier lessons you may not have explored yet.

Liz Pascual, BCBA, is Floreo’s Clinical Strategist! A fun fact about Liz: before joining the Floreo team, she was a Floreo customer herself, using the platform with her own clients. Her firsthand experience as a clinician gives her a unique perspective on how Floreo can support Learners, families, educators, and providers.

"I love playing Reunite the Animals! This lesson creates a really fun and engaging opportunity for Learners to practice teamwork and communication. This is so important especially as some of our Learners start summer break where they don’t have the same routine access to peers to practice these important skills. I love having a goal oriented lesson that keeps Learners motivated to keep practicing. Also watching Reggie the owl carry all those animals makes my day so much better!"

Did you know?

Floreo’s AI-powered characters, Jordan and Marcie, make it possible to practice skills that are often difficult to teach, or difficult to create opportunities for, in real life. Coaches can have AI characters "take on a persona" and as a specific type of person to help the Learner engage in realistic conversations tailored to their goals.

For example, a Learner preparing for a job interview can practice answering common interview questions with a "hiring manager," receive coaching and feedback live during the Floreo session, and repeat the experience as many times as needed. Because the Jordan and Marcie can adapt to different scenarios and personalities, Learners can prepare for real-world interactions in a safe, supportive environment before facing them in real life. Check out our VP of Clinical Product, Marsha Stepensky, MS, Ed, BCBA demonstrating this in the video above!
