Over the years, we have had many different types of requested Floreo experiences and a lot of them have made it into the app already! One of our most frequent asks is to provide the Learner with an experience in the doctor's office. We are pleased to share this sneak peek of the upcoming Floreo doctor's office experience! Stay tuned for more details and a release announcement in the upcoming weeks.
Exciting opportunity for educators
FLOREO IMMERSIVE LEARNING PROGRAM
We are thrilled to announce the Floreo Immersive Learning Program, a unique opportunity for schools to bring Floreo to neurodiverse students.
In collaboration with Meta, the program is for neurodiverse students ages 13 and above and includes free Meta Quest 2 headsets for classrooms. In addition, we are providing a Floreo Classroom Bundle for the low setup cost of only $250 through the 2023/2024 school year for participating schools.
Please share with your favorite educators and schools. We are so excited to help get more technology into the hands of very deserving schools. There is a short application process and schools interested in learning more can click here.
New Partnerships

In case you missed it...
NEW OPTION FOR CLINICS
Last summer, Floreo sponsored the application for a new CPT III Code that went into effect January 1, 2023. Code 0770T is an add-on code that represents the practice expense for the software used for the VR technology and may be reported for each session for which VR technology is used. VR technology is incorporated into the base therapy session and is used to enhance the training or teaching of a skill upon which the therapy is focused.
If you are interested in incorporating this CPT III code into your practice's billing procedure, please let us know. We have some tips for outreach that may be helpful for you.

In Memoriam
Floreo lost an early supporter late last month. Laura Witt, an accomplished venture capitalist, provided invaluable advice and encouragement to me as I was getting Floreo off the ground. With a personal connection to Floreo's mission, Laura helped validate that this could be a great double bottom line business. She was lost way too early and our thoughts are with her family.
Funding ideas
HOW CAN WE HELP YOU GAIN FUNDING FOR FLOREO?
We know that budgets can be tight and we want to help get Floreo into the hands of anyone who needs it! If we can help write up your DonorsChoose application (teachers) or provide information for a grant you have identified (anyone!) please let us know.
IDEA and Title I funds are also great sources to help you access a Floreo subscription. As you start thinking about budgets for 2023-24, consider adding in Floreo!
