Did you know? Floreo subscriptions can be paid 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. We have also had success with families in other states using self-directed funds or funds for assistive technology to purchase a Floreo subscription.

For these subscription, a family member often acts as a Coach, but we encourage other members of the participant's care team to use at as well! That means that your family could have a Floreo subscription but an educator or therapist that also works with your child could use Floreo with them to help build skills too!

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!

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.

Why is Floreo so good for perspective-taking? Floreo puts the Learner in the so-called "driver's seat" of a social interaction or daily task and the pacing of the Floreo events allows for maximum opportunities for success in that situation. In many cases, classrooms or social skills groups use Floreo by placing the headset on an individual Learner and projecting the iPad view to a SmartBoard or Smart TV.

QUICK SURVEY REGARDING DIGITAL THERAPEUTICS

Your feedback can help shape the future of Digital Therapeutics! Please consider contributing to the Rx4good Patient Survey which explores awareness about digital therapeutics.
