3.5M Adults and 1.5M young people live with autism in the US. Total under-employment for this population is over 90%, meanwhile roughly 80% with ASD are capable of learning skills that would increase their ability to be employed. Families, clinicians, and educators who support people with ASD have an array of tech tools to choose from, but many of those products haven’t been vetted in clinical studies.
Research shows intensive behavioral interventions improve long-term outcomes for people with ASD, but such treatments are expensive and often are not administered consistently. Immersive learning systems like Floreo’s are more cost-effective and can be delivered at scale.
Floreo harnesses the power of virtual reality to offer a supplementary method of helping people with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) learn social and communication skills. The company has a growing library of science-based lessons, and its technology gives supervising adults a way to track learners’ progress. Schools, therapy practices, and parents use Floreo’s tools.
