🚀 Exciting Partnership: Floreo & Center for Social Dynamics!

We’re proud to announce a new partnership with Center for Social Dynamics to expand access to VR-based autism therapy services in schools across the country. Through this partnership, CSD and Floreo will co-develop advanced VR curriculum to augment ABA teletherapies and features, including new modalities to enable group VR therapy.

As a leader in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), CSD brings deep clinical expertise and a strong commitment to inclusive, evidence-based care. Together, we’re working to scale innovative, accessible solutions that empower neurodiverse learners—where they are, and when they need it most.

This collaboration marks a major milestone in our mission to leverage science-backed, immersive VR experiences to help neurodiverse individuals learn the skills they need to thrive. We’re excited to work alongside CSD to reimagine what’s possible in autism care.

Floreo on location

The Floreo team is spread out across the globe, so it’s a rare treat when we get to come together in person. Last week, we had the joy of gathering in Chicago for our annual team offsite and it was nothing short of inspiring.

We spent time reconnecting, recharging, and diving deep into the exciting initiatives ahead. A special thank you to Floreo power user Nick Rizza for joining us in person and sharing more about the incredible work happening at Leep Forward / Quantum Leep Academy. And to Eric Michael Garcia, who joined us virtually to offer thoughtful insights and a powerful perspective on the future. (Check out his book We're Not Broken: Changing the Autism Conversation if you haven't already!)

We left the offsite energized and more excited than ever for what’s to come.

Just released

We’re thrilled to introduce our latest VR experiences, Beaver and Giants of the Sea — brought to you by our friends at Wild Immersion!

These immersive nature-based lessons transport learners into the world of wildlife, offering engaging environments to explore while listening to facts about amazing animals. Update to the latest version of Floreo on your Coach and Learner devices to find them!

Using Floreo in your clinic, school, or home

Floreo's Director of Applied Digital Therapy, Rita Solórzano MA, CCC-SLP, is a Speech Language Pathologist with over 30 years of experience.

When you are working with a Learner who is at a very early stage of understanding how to participate in a conversation, the Floreo lessons Join a Conversation: Park and Join a Conversation: Cafeteria are a good place to start.

The lesson objectives are fairly basic: a) listen to an ongoing conversation and determine the topic; then b) offer an on-topic comment. These lessons have potential pauses built into the pace of the conversation so that you can walk an individual step-by-step through the interaction and then speed up the pace as the Learner gains proficiency.
