Empowering children to reach their full potential and let their light shine
At Firefly Pediatric Therapy, we believe that each one of us has a shining light. We believe in helping children achieve their highest potential in communication and language skills.
At Firefly our one and only goal is to improve each child's speech and language skills. Everyone deserves a voice and empowering your child to communicate enhances their life in so many ways. We bring that mission to life by partnering with preschools to provide speech and language therapy on campus.

At Firefly our one and only goal is to improve each child's speech and language skills. Everyone deserves a voice and empowering your child to communicate enhances their life in so many ways. We bring that mission to life by partnering with preschools to provide speech and language therapy on campus.
Would you like us to come to your child’s preschool? No problem! Please reach out and we can discuss how to build a partnership at their location.
At Firefly we work in close partnership with families and teachers, keeping an open dialogue and striving to achieve you and your child's goals together. Home practice activities are provided to support carryover when appropriate. We value the relationships with our families and schools. We look forward to working with you!
Our team consists of highly trained and experienced speech and language pathologists who specialize in early intervention, speech sound disorders, receptive and expressive language delays, literacy and more. We are dedicated to staying up-to-date on the latest research and techniques to provide the best care possible.
Firefly provides mobile speech therapy at your child’s preschool or daycare facility. We are parents too and know how difficult it can be to get your child from school and to a therapy clinic each week and decided to be the ones on the move. This also allows us to be a part of your child’s educational experience and provide support and/or therapy in the classroom when appropriate. We are grateful to welcomed on to preschool campuses.
Therapy is provided during the school day, 9am-3pm, at your child’s preschool or daycare location. We discuss with teachers and staff to find a time that works best for your child and the schools schedule.
Therapy is typically provided in a 1:1 ratio with one therapist and one child. Firefly does offer group sessions depending on each child’s treatment plan. An example of a group therapy session is our social skills small group “Social Fireflies Group”. Ask to find out if we are running this group at your campus!
In some cases if two children are working towards the same goals (such as both working on correct production of a target sound) the children can be paired together for a session.
This is not as common and will be recommended by your therapist if it is felt that both children would benefit from this model.
Firefly provides a comprehensive speech and language evaluation. A thorough evaluation is critical in differential diagnosis and ensuring your child receives the appropriate treatment. Evaluations also take place at your child's preschool.
Therapy is always tailored to the unique needs of each individual child. We typically recommend 30-minute or 60-minute sessions. The scope, frequency and duration of therapy will be discussed in consultation with the SLP following the evaluation.
Caroline is a speech-language pathologist with nearly 20 years of experience practicing in various settings. Over the years she has worked in private practice, home health, skilled nursing facilities/hospitals and schools. After trying out different settings she found her passion in Early Intervention and spent many years providing home and center based services to children in Arizona via the Arizona Early Intervention Program (AzEIP). Caroline is a firm believer in early detection and providing support as soon as possible. She has seen the direct benefits of early intervention and how therapy can improve skills at school and at home. It is important to Caroline that children are provided with quality care early on so that they are as ready as they can be to thrive and be successful when they transition to elementary school and beyond.
When Caroline is not disguising therapy as play she enjoys being at home with her husband and four children. She also enjoys reading, yoga, hiking and watching baking shows.

Of course all parents are welcome to join and observe the evaluation but with your prior consent we are able to complete the evaluation during school hours and you are not required to attend. We will discuss this in more detail during your pre-eval consultation.
No, not at this time. Unfortunately for all of us insurance companies too often deny claims for speech therapy. Rather than chasing down insurance claims we have chosen to devote our time and resources to providing high quality service that will benefit clients more directly. Firefly is able to provide documentation of evaluations and therapy services that you may submit to your insurance company for reimbursement. This paperwork is provided upon request.
Firefly Therapy specializes in early childhood development with children ages 5 and under.
