Stay in shape over the holidays with Floreo's classroom lessons!

By Heather | Nov 17, 2021

As we head into the holiday season and all the (hopefully fun!) chaos that entails, help keep your Learner classroom ready by playing Floreo! Our School Social lessons offer opportunities to practice interactions in the classroom and school cafeteria, so your Learner won't miss a beat when they head back to in-person school. Work on small talk, joining a conversation, introducing peers to one another, and even practice recognizing and responding to bullying in a safe, repeatable school environment. Our lessons can help set your Learner up for success in a school setting.

It is a great time to start talking about how Floreo can fit into your 2022 plans. Contact us to speak with a member of our team about the needs of your school district or therapy practice and how we can work with you to benefit your students, clients, and community!

In case you missed it: we just released our new Impulse Control skill category! In these new classroom lessons, the Learner practices impulse control by raising a hand before answering a question and otherwise refraining from calling out or correcting other students. With one lesson set in a brand new kindergarten classroom environment with adorable new characters, and one set in the familiar Floreo classroom environment, there are lots of new opportunities for Learners of all ages to practice!

Find these new lessons once you have the latest version of Floreo! If you haven't yet had a chance to download the latest version of Floreo, you can find it in the iOS app store by clicking this link. If you have Floreo rental equipment, make sure to turn it on, connect it to WiFi and let the update download before opening the app.
