Community Question

Have you used Floreo with ASL speakers? We heard from an educator in Tennessee and we want to hear your opinion: "One of our teachers asked about how to best use Floreo with one of our students who uses ASL. My recommendation was to put a separate student in the headset and screen cast the program onto a smartboard. This way the ASL interpreter can sign the instructions and also know the student's response to prompts.

Has anyone found a way that is better to allow ASL learners to engage in verbal lessons?"

We would love to hear from you if you have any tips! Your insights and creativity help the entire Floreo community!

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.

If you haven’t seen it yet, we recently released a lesson on Food Storage and Safety. This lesson is the first to feature Floreo's new kitchen environment. The Learner is asked to select a place in the kitchen (either the cabinet, a bowl on the kitchen table, the fridge or the freezer) to store specific food items that emerge from a grocery bag.
