For most of this year, our talented team of clinicians, artists, and engineers has been hard at work on developing the Floreo Grocery Store. As you can probably imagine, there are a ton of important details that go into creating something so expansive!

We have started this suite of lessons with our brand new Orienting to the Grocery Store lesson. We are hard at work on more in the grocery store suite, including expansion into other skill categories like Flexibility and Impulse Control.

The Floreo Grocery Store has been a top customer request for some time and we are excited to see it come to life! We can't wait to hear what you think. And don't forget to suggest lessons you would like to see us build next! You may just see them in an upcoming release.

We know things are still very up in the air! If you find yourself in a telehealth or remote learning situation, remember that the benefits of Floreo can be fully deployed in a remote setting. If your organization is looking for a remote or hybrid solution, we would be a great fit! Or, if you are back to in-person therapy or education, Floreo can be a fun and engaging way to help your Learners work on social, communication, behavioral, and life skills.

From working on joint attention related skills to practicing a routine to safely cross the street or practicing complex interactions like recognizing and responding to bullying situations (and everything in between!) there's something for everyone in our lesson library. We would love to talk with you about implementing Floreo in your school, district or practice.

We are proud to be highlighted in a recent report published by The Information Technology & Innovation Foundation as an example of effective and engaging technology already in use in K-12 classrooms. If your school district or classroom could benefit from Floreo, please reply to this email to discuss our flexible subscription options (including rental equipment!).

Remember that Floreo has both in-person and telehealth options for our customers. If your school or clinic might be switching to remote learning/telehealth at some point in this school year, let's talk about how Floreo's lessons to teach social, behavioral, social and life skills can be incorporated into your routine to help. Read the Report here.

We were honored to participate along with 7 other amazing startups in the IDD space at the recent MassChallenge & The Joseph P. Kennedy Foundation Demo Day. It is always inspiring to see what others are creating in this space! We always appreciate the opportunity to share more about Floreo.

Floreo was recently featured on the new reality series by ARM: Exploring the Future of Consumer Technology. Floreo Founder & CEO, Vijay Ravindran, discusses the ways that Floreo is helping to improve the lives of individuals with autism, making services more accessible for many, and enhancing therapy and special education settings. Huge thanks to our partners at The Manhattan Childrens Center for their participation too!

Stay tuned for our upcoming August content release with new lessons in our School Social skill category! As your children, students, and clients head back to school this fall, we think these lessons will help with the transition: especially for kiddos who have spent much of the past year participating in remote learning. Some Learners will benefit simply from the opportunity to feel what a school environment feels like (classrooms, hallways, cafeterias). Then, practice social norms, discuss appropriate behavior in the classroom, learn classroom routines, practice interactions in the school cafeteria, and talk about what to expect in a school setting with your Learner!

We would love to hear what other school related lessons would be helpful for your Learner!

We would love to know: what do you want to know more about? How can we help to support you during this ever-changing landscape and, what feels like, constant transitional year?

We continue to hear positive feedback from customers who have experienced our redesign and new lessons! We would love to hear what you think too.

We are hard at work on the content we still have in the pipeline, including the Floreo store! The shelves and aisles are filling up as Floreo's amazing art director, Meredith Gammon, builds a fun environment to learn and practice skills in the grocery store. While we don't have a release date for the Floreo store yet, stay tuned for the announcement for our upcoming August release and enjoy a sneak peek at just a little bit of what you can look forward to in the store!

It is hard to believe we are halfway through the summer! We have had an exciting one: between our launch of the first Floreo clinic at Wonder Years Pediatrics, our huge redesign, and our expansion into content to address executive functioning skills, we have hardly had time to think! Our talented team continues to work on more exciting content, including the upcoming Floreo Store!

If you haven't yet had a chance to download the latest version of Floreo, it's a good time to do it! You can find the latest version in the iOS app store by clicking this link. If you haven't yet subscribed, we would love to discuss subscription options with you.
