As a remote team, we don't always have the opportunity to get together with our colleagues in person. So, it is always extra special when we do! Several members of our team had a great time meeting inspiring families, teachers, and service providers at the annual Huddle Up for Autism event put on by the Philadelphia Eagles.
We hope to see you at a different event in 2024! Let us know if there is one near you that we should attend!

Attention Medicaid Families
FLOREO SUBSCRIPTIONS MAY BE COVERED
Did you know that in Wisconsin and New York families on Medicaid waivers initiated full reimbursed coverage of Floreo in the home?
If your family receives services in your state using a Medicaid waiver, you might be able to get a Floreo subscription (including equipment rental) fully covered by your state program. Reach out to us, and let’s work together to see how we can get Floreo into your home and start making a difference for your Learner.
