> Meet the licensed team behind Social Skills Laboratory, PLLC, serving Bellevue and Washington with trusted speech therapy for kids. Call (206) 372-5490.

We're a speech therapy team in Washington. We help kids, teens, and young adults talk and connect. We work at home, online, or in our social groups.

## Built around connection, not correction

John started Social Skills Laboratory because many families needed more than one visit a week. They needed someone who knew their kid's real life.

That means showing up in living rooms, on video calls, and even at a table playing Dungeons & Dragons. Talking happens everywhere, not just in a therapy room.

So we meet kids where they are. We plan sessions around real routines, real hobbies, and real family schedules instead of one fixed way.

## The rules behind every session

These are things we never skip, even on busy weeks. They guide every session we run.

Honest talk

Clear prices

Steady follow-through

Real quality care

We tell you how your child is doing, even when it's slow. No fuzzy updates, just the real picture.

You'll know what a session costs and what your insurance covers before we start. We check your benefits early and explain them in plain words. If your plan changes, we check again for you. No surprise bills later, and nothing confusing to figure out.

If we say we'll send notes, change a plan, or call you back, we do it. Families put a lot of trust in us.

Every plan is built for your child's real needs, not a copy-paste form. We use methods backed by real training and real results.

## A plan built for your family

Good therapy is more than just one session. It's how we plan, talk, and handle bumps in the road. Parents often wonder what happens between visits. Here's how we make the whole thing work, from the first call to the last session.

We listen first

We suggest what fits

We follow through

We start by learning what's going on at home, school, or with friends. We ask about daily life, triggers, and small changes you've seen. Sometimes a teacher's note or a sibling's comment matters too. We get clear first so we don't waste time guessing.

We suggest what's best for your child, not extra sessions just to fill time. If a group fits better than one-on-one, we'll tell you.

We track progress, change plans if needed, and stay in touch. If a goal stops making sense, we change course fast. You get real updates, not empty check-ins. You'll always know what's next.
