Tools & Tips

MAKE THE MOST OF YOUR FLOREO SUBSCRIPTION

The Floreo introductory comic book has gotten a makeover! If you are familiar with our Resources page, you may have had a chance to use our introductory comic book with some of your Learners. Our talented artist recently redesigned the introductory comic book so hopefully it will be even more engaging and informative for your Learners. Remember that our Resources page has other helpful documents like visual schedules, checklists, and videos on introducing the headset, along with the Floreo User Guide and a link to our lesson library (with descriptions and objectives!). It's a great place to start getting familiar with Floreo! Check out and download the new comic book.
