John built Social Skills Laboratory around home visits and evenings because that's what real families need. He holds a Master's in Clinical Speech-Language Pathology from Northern Arizona University and is WA state licensed. The Eastside and Seattle-side divide across Lake Washington keeps families from crossing the bridge for therapy. We bring services to your door or your screen instead. The UW Speech and Hearing Sciences program [1] trains many local clinicians. John keeps up with that same research base.

Common Speech Therapy Questions from Renton Families
Here are answers to what Renton parents ask us most before starting Services with our practice.
-
How much does speech therapy cost in Renton?
Cost depends on your insurance and the type of Services needed. We're in-network with Premera, Regence, and First Choice, which lowers out-of-pocket costs for many families. We'll walk you through pricing before your first session.
-
How soon can we start speech therapy?
Most families start within one to two weeks of their first call. We know September and January get busy with school evaluations, so earlier is better. Evening and weekend slots fill fast during those months.
-
Is John licensed and qualified?
Yes, John is a WA state licensed speech-language pathologist with a Certificate of Clinical Competency from ASHA. He also holds training in PROMPT, SCERTS, and LSVT. His Master's degree is from Northern Arizona University.
-
What happens during a first speech evaluation?
We start with a conversation about your concerns and goals. Then we run a hands-on assessment of speech, language, or social communication skills. You'll get a clear plan afterward, a report.
-
Do you offer virtual speech therapy sessions?
Yes, we offer full teletherapy for families who prefer it or live farther out. Many Renton families use virtual sessions during rainy months when driving gets tough. It works just as well as in-person for many goals.
-
How is Social Skills Laboratory different from other Renton practices?
We offer things most practices don't, like our Dungeons & Dragons social skills groups. We also bring Services to your home or screen instead of asking you to travel. Evening and weekend hours set us apart too.
-
What is the D&D social skills group?
It's a small group session where kids and teens practice social skills through tabletop role play. They work on turn-taking, conversation, and flexibility in a fun setting. Many kids open up faster this way than in traditional therapy rooms.
