Firefly Speech Therapy is a boutique practice specializing in speech, language, and literacy services, parent workshops, and community-based screenings.
We understand each child requires a deep connection and nurturing environment to develop their communication skills.
Schedule a complimentary consultation with Elizabeth to answer your questions and discuss your concerns.
If appropriate an evaluation will be scheduled, including formal and dynamic measures.
We'll discuss assessment results and recommend a plan that's specific to your child.
Together we’ll start working to accomplish your goals!
Firefly Speech Therapy treats all aspects of language, including reading and writing. Utilizing Lindamood-Bell’s research-based Seeing Stars® program, literacy skills are strengthened through symbol imagery – the cognitive ability to visualize sounds and letters in words. Symbol imagery creates the foundation for phonemic awareness, orthographic awareness, word attack, word recognition, spelling, and reading fluency. There’s nothing like watching a child beam with confidence as decoding skills become more automatic.
What if you could improve your child’s communication skills through the activities you’re already doing? Research shows that children learn best in their natural environment, through daily routines with their family.
The Hanen approach recognizes you as your child’s first teacher and the most important person in their life. Firefly Speech Therapy is proud to be one of the only providers in the Treasure Valley to offer Hanen workshops for parents.
Together we collaborate to make communication a natural part of everyday life, so speech therapy occurs throughout your child’s day. Parents learn how to turn any routine into an opportunity to spark language development.
Hanen workshops consist of 6 small group Zoom sessions and 3-4 individual consultations. It Takes Two to Talk is a program designed for parents of children with a language delay. More Than Words supports parents of young children with social communication difficulties or on the autism spectrum.

Educators know early intervention is key.
A simple screening can help determine if speech and language skills are age appropriate or if further assessment may be recommended.
If you are interested in setting up a complimentary screening at your school please contact Elizabeth for more information.
