Explore New Skills with Floreo in 2026!

The Floreo community is incredible: Floreo Learners and Coaches played 40,212 lessons in 2025, totaling over 111,000 minutes of skill-building, practice, and growth.

Every session using Floreo represents time spent learning, building confidence, and practicing real-world skills. We’re so grateful to the families, clinicians, and educators who have implemented Floreo in their homes, clinics, and classrooms.

We look ahead at 2026 with excitement and optimism. You can look forward to more exciting new content and feature releases this year, including a visit to the doctor's office, emotional regulation skills practice during a car ride, and more opportunities to practice conversational skills with our newest teenage characters.

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’re introducing a monthly highlight featuring some of our earlier lessons you may not have explored yet.

This month's feature is from Floreo's VP of Operations, Crystal Levy, who loves Reunite the Animals. Crystal shares: "I like Reunite the Animals because it’s the only lesson in our library without human-looking characters. Learners help animals reunite with their families, guided by Reginald Arthur Florius—affectionately known as Reggie—our one and only talking animal. His calm guidance keeps the focus on cooperation without the added complexity of human social cues. And the baby pig kicking his feet gets me every time."

Find your favorite lesson: Floreo subscriptions include unlimited access to Floreo's library of lessons. And let us know which lessons you like best! We'd love to feature your opinion in a future newsletter!
