ABA Therapy for Families in Alameda
Center-based ABA at our Oakland center, about 13 minutes from Alameda without traffic.
Center-based · BCBA-led · Oakland & San Jose
Alameda is an island city, which shapes how families plan therapy: the way off the island is through the Webster Street Tube or the Posey Tube to Oakland, or over the Park Street, High Street or Fruitvale bridges. Our Oakland center at 3300 Webster St, Suite 210 is about 13 minutes from Alameda without traffic, roughly 5.2 miles.
All of your child's ABA happens at that center. A Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) writes and supervises the plan, behavior technicians deliver most of the day-to-day work, and you are involved through caregiver education. We do not provide in-home or telehealth ABA.
Getting from Alameda to the Oakland center
Thirteen minutes without traffic assumes a clear run through one of the Oakland Estuary crossings. A tube or bridge backup at peak hours can add real time, so it is worth driving the route once at the hour your child would attend.
Our San Jose center is about 49 minutes from Alameda without traffic, so Alameda families use Oakland. The island is long: if you live on Bay Farm Island, near Harbor Bay or out at Alameda Point, your drive starts from a different corner than a family near Park Street, so use 13 minutes as a guide, not a promise.
Alameda families and coverage
Alameda children attend schools in the Alameda Unified School District. If your child has an IEP, bring a copy to the consultation: the BCBA can read the school goals next to the ABA goals and make sure they are not at odds.
Alameda hosts a U.S. Coast Guard base on Coast Guard Island, and military families often ask about TRICARE. Rori Care works with TRICARE West through TriWest under the Autism Care Demonstration; the referral and review steps are laid out on our TRICARE West page.
Alameda is in Alameda County. Alameda County families are served by the Regional Center of the East Bay (its main office is in San Leandro). Rori Care does not accept Regional Center funding yet, so if your child is a Regional Center client, ask us what we can do alongside your plan before you decide.

How long does it take to get from Alameda to Rori Care?
About 13 minutes without traffic to our Oakland center (roughly 5.2 miles). Tube and bridge traffic at commute hours can make it longer, so test the drive at your intended session time.
Do you offer ABA at home in Alameda?
No. Rori Care is center-based only. Therapy takes place at our Oakland center (3300 Webster St, Suite 210) or our San Jose center, never at home or by telehealth.
We are a Coast Guard family. Does Rori Care work with TRICARE?
Yes. We work with TRICARE West, administered by TriWest, under the Autism Care Demonstration. TRICARE requires a referral with a definitive autism diagnosis from an authorized provider before ABA can be reviewed. Our TRICARE West page explains the steps, and our team can walk you through them.
Is Kaiser Permanente accepted for ABA?
Kaiser members are served through Catalight, which administers ABA benefits for Kaiser in California. We work with Catalight, and the exact coverage is confirmed once your plan is verified. See our Catalight (Kaiser Permanente) page.
Is there a Rori Care center on the island?
No. Our two centers are in Oakland and San Jose. Alameda families come to Oakland.
