Floreo has been recognized as a gamechanger: a great example of a company that is using technology to unlock potential and also as a catalyst that could change healthcare forever.
And we hear directly from our users everyday that Floreo is making a difference! From emotional regulation techniques to crossing the street, Floreo Learners are practicing important skills that they can use outside of VR.

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.
Many of Floreo’s lessons emphasize the practice of scenarios to keep our Learners more safe. Our police-based lessons were designed to help Learners have a better understanding of what to expect when they encounter law enforcement. We have built situational and conversational opportunities in these VR scenes, but there may be additional learning opportunities beyond simply answering the officer's questions or understanding the types of directions they might give that you may want to take into account when using these lessons with individual Learners.
