Our Story
Lingo Group Inc. is an experienced contracting agency that provides multilingual speech-language therapy to school-aged populations throughout NYC public, private, and charter schools. Lingo Group Inc. was founded in 2011 by Sarah Padilla-Ahmed, a Speech-Language Pathologist with over 17 years of clinical experience working in private practice, public and private schools in New Mexico, California, Arizona, New Jersey, and NYC. Sarah's main goal was to create a dynamic integrative agency where therapists, students, and their families can receive guidance, support, and individualized treatment plans that help improve all skills necessary to achieve and experience functional communication both in and out of school. Lingo Group has a group of dedicated and professionally licensed speech-language therapists working together to provide exceptional functional outcomes while expanding their knowledge and experience year after year. We hope you will join our team and start your journey toward achieving your personal and career goals.
