Customer Spotlight: Transforming Learning with Floreo's AI Conversations

By Heather | Jan 16, 2025

Capital Area Intermediate Unit may be a new customer, but they're off to a fast start. Kellie C., Lead Behavior Analyst from CAIU recently shared her opinion on Floreo's new AI freeform conversation lessons:

"THEY ARE EXCELLENT. I was trialing the program with a learner who struggles with typical role-playing scenarios. Her interactions with the chatbot mirrored her real-life verbal behaviors, and the bot's responses—acknowledging the harm of certain statements—enabled her to practice more appropriate ways to regain attention. In the VR setting, she was able to adapt and succeed in a way that she hasn’t before. This is such an exciting feature!"

Feedback like this inspires us to keep innovating! We’re exploring ways to make the feature even more customizable, such as allowing coaches to add statements for the AI character to use. Stay tuned for updates and let us know your feedback on our lessons too!


Coming soon

We’re thrilled to share a sneak peek of one of our exciting new lessons in development: the name is still TBD but we have been calling it "Grocery Sort." In this interactive lesson, Learners will practice essential life skills by deciding where grocery items should be stored after a shopping trip. It’s a fun and practical way to build independence. Stay tuned! More details are coming your way in an upcoming release!

Using Floreo in your clinic, school, or home

Parents of special needs kiddos often need support to understand how children communicate through their behaviors. Parent training programs can help parents take a step back, gain perspective of what the child is doing, and develop responses that help a child to learn and grow. Immersive virtual reality can serve as an efficient way to put the parent in the child's shoes and gain some important perspective.
