It’s Here: The Floreo Coach Browser Experience Has Launched!

We’re excited to announce that the new Floreo Coach experience has officially launched and it’s ready for you to explore!

You can now guide Floreo sessions right from your desktop, laptop, or tablet browser: no iPad required.

The new experience offers:

An easier-to-navigate layout
In-session transcript tracking
Streamlined Coach controls all in one place
Compatibility across devices for maximum flexibility

We’re already hearing fantastic feedback from customers who’ve started using it, including this wonderful review from Nick Rizza at LEEP Forward:

"The new Floreo Coach browser experience has truly been a game changer! It’s incredibly intuitive and has made running sessions smoother and more efficient. The new interface allows for better pacing, and I’ve noticed how much easier it is to keep the flow going without interruptions or delays—which makes a huge difference for both coaches and learners. Having everything accessible right from the browser eliminates the extra steps and loading time, and it feels like the overall experience is more seamless and reliable. It's clear how much thought has gone into this new platform, and I’m incredibly grateful to have been part of the beta testing process. Floreo continues to innovate in ways that directly support meaningful, engaging experiences for our learners and this new browser platform is another great example of that!"

If needing an iPad held you back before, now’s the perfect time to take another look at Floreo: the new setup makes it easier than ever to get started.

Help us get to SXSW!

How can storytelling and technology work together to shape a more inclusive future for youth with autism? Join Kathryn Morris, actress and founder of The Savants + Vijay Ravindran, founder and CEO of Floreo in a conversation moderated by Leah Clapman, founder of PBS News student reporting labs, at #SXSWEDU to explore how visibility and innovation foster inclusion. Together, they’ll discuss:

Why storytelling matters in media and brand building
How immersive technology like VR empowers students to gain independence,
What a truly inclusive future looks like in schools, workplaces, and media

If you believe in the power of visibility, innovation, and inclusion, we’d love your vote to get this session to the stage in Austin next March!

Using Floreo in your clinic, school, or home

Floreo's Director of Applied Digital Therapy, Rita Solórzano MA, CCC-SLP, is a Speech Language Pathologist with over 30 years of experience.

As a former traveling speech language pathologist, I can honestly say I spent my fair share of time looking for the most efficient way to transport therapy materials and experiences for my students and clients. At Floreo, we are taking a big step toward making VR more accessible, more flexible and easier to implement for clinicians, teachers and families. It's "The Coach Browser Experience" and here are 3 ways it will now be even easier to run Floreo lessons.
