Amanda R. Medina Padilla, M.S., CCC-SLP
Hello! My name is Amanda (she/her) and I am the owner of Café con Lenguaje. I am from Fajardo, Puerto Rico and have been working as a speech-language pathologist since 2019. I was raised in a bilingual household and learned American Sign Language as a teenager.
Over the years, I have provided trilingual speech-language services to families and preschool through high school age children with diverse needs. As someone who works closely with deaf and hard of hearing adolescents, I understand how important it is to support communication in different languages and modalities.
My commitment to serving the needs of families and offering empathetic services led me to start my private practice in 2023. When I'm not working, I like to spend time with my family and pets, cooking, and watching TV series.
Thank you for being here!
