Floreo featured on the World Economic Forum's blog!

Telehealth has been an important part of Floreo's offerings since we started offering it as a modality right before the COVID-19 pandemic shut down the world. We had already been working on it prior to COVID, but the pandemic really highlighted the need for a telehealth option that also incorporated Floreo. As the world has reopened, telehealth remains an important factor in reaching underserved communities around the world. Floreo's telehealth work as well as the work we have done in Wisconsin under the Children's Long-Term Support waiver was highlighted in a blog post on the World Economic Forum's blog.

We continue to grow Floreo's product and offerings with the ultimate goal of making important services and education more accessible and affordable to support neurodiverse individuals and their families.

New Floreo Feature

MULTIPLE CUSTOM LESSON PLANS

If you are a Floreo customer you may already be familiar with Floreo's custom lesson plan feature in the Floreo portal which gives Coaches the ability to make their own Floreo skill category for each of their Learners. This is a great way to highlight favorite lessons or create a treatment plan that someone else might implement: for example, a teacher or BCBA creates the plan, but a paraprofessional or RBT actually uses Floreo with the Learner.

We are pleased to share that each Coach can create multiple custom lesson plans for each of their Learners. And, you can create lesson plans that you apply to all of your Learners! These features are based on customer feedback and we are so pleased to have them in place to make things easier on our Coaches!

Don't forget to visit the Floreo portal for your Learner reports too!

We would love to hear from you! What would you like to see us build next?

Attention Medicaid Families

FLOREO SUBSCRIPTIONS MAY BE COVERED

Did you know that in Wisconsin and New York families on Medicaid waivers initiated full reimbursed coverage of Floreo in the home?

If your family receives services in your state using a Medicaid waiver, you might be able to get a Floreo subscription (including equipment rental) fully covered by your state program. Reach out to us, and let’s work together to see how we can get Floreo into your home and start making a difference for your Learner.
