Little Steps Speech & Language Clinic Opens New Location in Rego Park

This June, Little Steps Speech & Language Clinic at Rego Park began accepting new patients. Little Steps specializes in treating speaking disorders as a result of neurological dysfunctions, cleft palette repairs, apraxia, feeding disorders, or Down Syndrome. They also offer treatment in a number of languages including Hebrew, Farsi, English, Spanish, and Russian, with plans to add Polish to their repertoire soon.

“We try to provide therapy in the native language of the child,” says Adelina Samuels, the owner of Little Steps and a bilingual specialist with 22 years experience.

The Rego Park location is fully remodeled and ready to service the Queens community.

“The office is spacious. It has a number of treatment rooms,” says Samuels. “It has the double-sided mirror so that the parent could be involved in the therapeutic intervention without staying in the room so the child wouldn’t preform for the parent.”

Little Steps offers numerous methods of treatments including the PROMPT method of speech therapy.

“We touch his or her face in the right places,” says Samuels. “We kind of map out the word for them.”

For parents wondering if speech therapy is right for their child, Samuels recommends paying close attention to their child’s budding language skills.
