Introducing Floreo Office Hours

We’re thrilled to introduce our brand-new weekly office hours, designed with your needs in mind! Each week, we’ll be hosting an open drop-in session where there’s no set agenda—just a chance for you to get your questions answered in real-time. Whether you need quick advice, have a burning question, or just want to catch up with the team, these office hours are your opportunity to connect and collaborate. Drop by and join the conversation Tuesdays at 4pm ET. We can’t wait to see you there!

DIVE INTO FLOREO

We have been lucky to have a summer intern working with us this year! Nikita is an MBA candidate and she has been working on some great projects that will directly benefit all of our customers (stay tuned!). If you have been wondering about implementing Floreo, her video series about getting started is a fantastic introduction to just how easy it is to get up and running with Floreo.

Check out our YouTube channel for more videos, including our "Ask Me Anything About Floreo" with Founder/CEO, Vijay Ravindran, our Content Deep Dive with Director of Therapy Content Marsha Stepensky, and more.

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.

Using Floreo to develop a sense of agency: Learners who require additional support often find themselves in situations where others are making the decisions for them. Every one of us needs at least some ability to affect the environment around us by making choices. Having the agency to make a choice and observing the direct results of those choices is when we learn best.

FLOREO SUBSCRIPTIONS MAY BE COVERED

Did you know that Floreo has programs in place with several state waivers? These programs, like the Children's Long Term Support waiver in Wisconsin, or the MAPS program in Tennesee will pay for a Floreo subscription and equipment rental for participating families. We have also had success with families in other states using self-directed funds or funds for assistive technology to purchase a Floreo subscription.

The best place to start is with your family's service coordinator. Chat with them to see if they can help get a Floreo subscription in place. And if they have any questions, we're always happy to help!

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! Please let us know if you need help writing up your DonorsChoose application or with information for a grant you have identified. This is a great resource to find available grants.

IDEA and Title I funds are also great sources to help you access a Floreo subscription.
