Sneak peek at Floreo's upcoming water safety lesson!

By Heather | Apr 24, 2025

Coming soon to Floreo: the next installment in our water safety lesson series! Designed to help Learners build confidence and awareness around water, this important lesson builds on our first water safety lesson, and continues our mission to provide essential, real-world skills through immersive VR.

Drowning remains a leading cause of death for neurodiverse individuals: education and preparedness can save lives. Stay tuned for the release announcement coming soon and check out the sneak peek!

Fun new resource!

Our content team is always exploring creative ways to extend learning beyond VR. Introducing Floreo's own Chit Chat Cube: a fun, hands-on tool designed to spark conversations and strengthen communication skills in both small and large groups. It’s a great way to reinforce the social skills Learners can practice in Floreo’s lessons, like Teen Talk: Social Squares.
