Exciting news: Floreo is in the PICO Business Store!

We are delighted to announce that Floreo is available in the PICO Business Store. PICO is a major VR platform focused on enterprise in the US and is owned by Bytedance, the parent company of TikTok.

We now support PICO Neo3, Neo3 Pro/Pro Eye & PICO 4 Enterprise. We are so thrilled to expand our offering to make your Learner's Floreo experience even better!

We are working diligently to make Floreo available on more platforms to be more accessible for all Coaches and Learners.

Our team would love to chat with you about implementing Floreo in your school or clinic using PICO! Please reply to this email to set up time to speak with us. If you have questions about whether your device is compatible with Floreo, please let us know.

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.

Floreo Avenues for Addressing Spatial Concept Understanding and Expression: Floreo has specific lessons designed to address the acquisition of spatial concepts, but if you take a quick look around the Floreo lessons, you will find many opportunities where those concepts can be reinforced. Because of the immersive nature of Floreo's lessons, working on spatial concepts using virtual reality can be extremely efficient.

FLOREO CAN BE COVERED 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 subscriptions, a family member often acts as a Coach, but we encourage other members of the participant's care team to use it 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!

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.
