Speech Pathways

Speech Pathways Speech Therapy - Serving Fresno, Tulare, Visalia, and Kings County I am Deborah DeLong and I have been a speech pathologist for 20 years.

I love being a speech pathologist! My desire at speech pathways whether I am working with children or adults, is not just to provide speech therapy, but to come alongside families and walk with them as we journey down the path of speech-language habilitation or rehabilitation. I will strive to make therapy fun and motivating for my clients and provide resources and helpful information to families.

A big thank you to Andrew Schippers for making these fidget toys for our therapy room. Tools like these make such a difference, helping our kids stay focused, calm, and supported as they work on their speech goals.

They've been so loved during sessions that they’re now available for purchase in our office!

We’re proud to celebrate Michael, one of our amazing 6th grade patients, who has made incredible progress in his reading journey, growing from a 2nd grade level to a 5th grade level in just 7 months.

"Thank you Mr. Malik for helping me with my dyslexia. Reading is becoming easier and faster for me. My grades are improving and school is now fun." - Michael

His hard work, family support, and the guidance of his clinician, Malik, are a powerful reminder of what’s possible with the right tools and encouragement.

April is Autism Awareness Month.

To every parent walking this journey, we want you to hear this: you are not alone. We know it can feel heavy at times. We also know how much love, advocacy, and strength it takes to show up every single day.

Children with autism have language. It may look different, sound different, or develop differently, but it is there. Our role is to embrace how your child communicates and build from that place of strength.

A diagnosis does not change who your child is. It opens doors and gives clarity. It allows us to provide the support, tools, and encouragement that empower your child to grow with confidence.

At Speech Pathways, we meet you where you are, and we walk beside you with purpose, affirmation, and hope. There is joy in this journey, and we celebrate every step forward with you.

Dyslexia is not a limitation. It is a different way of learning, processing, and experiencing the world.

We are passionate about providing resources that bring clarity, encouragement, and practical support to families navigating reading challenges. When we understand dyslexia, we are better equipped to empower our children, build their confidence, and celebrate every step of progress.
