ABA Therapy for Families in Newark
Center-based ABA at our San Jose center, about 26 minutes from Newark without traffic.
Center-based · BCBA-led · Oakland & San Jose
Newark is a small city next to Fremont, close to the Dumbarton Bridge approach. Our San Jose center, 125 Ciro Ave, Suite 240, is about 26 minutes from Newark without traffic, roughly 20.2 miles. Our Oakland center is about 36 minutes away (roughly 26 miles), so Newark families normally use San Jose.
Every session happens at the center. A Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) leads your child's plan and we do not provide in-home or telehealth ABA. You can begin with a free 30-minute consultation, and we check your insurance benefits before you decide anything.
From Newark to the San Jose center
Most routes run south through Fremont and Milpitas on Interstate 880 and into San Jose. That is the same corridor the Fremont and Milpitas families use, and the figures line up: Fremont is about 25 minutes from the San Jose center and Milpitas about 15, so Newark is only a little farther than its neighbor.
Because the trip crosses two cities, it is sensitive to how busy the freeways are. A weekday-morning trip may take noticeably longer than the free-flow figure, so we suggest trying it at the hour your child would attend. If your regular travel runs north instead, ask about the Oakland center.
Newark: school, funding and coverage
Newark children attend schools in the Newark Unified School District. Bring a copy of any IEP and recent school evaluation to the consultation; the BCBA will read the school goals next to the ABA plan.
Newark is in Alameda County, even though the San Jose center is in Santa Clara 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.
Because the center is in a different county from your home, ask your plan about network and service-area rules, especially if you are in an HMO. Cigna, through Evernorth behavioral, is one of the plans we work with; our Cigna / Evernorth page covers how the process works.
Newark and its neighbors
Fremont borders Newark on most sides, which is why the two towns share a route to San Jose. Fremont is about 25 minutes from the San Jose center, Milpitas about 15 and Union City about 31, all without traffic. We give Newark its own figure (about 26 minutes) because families deciding on a regular schedule should not have to guess from a neighbor’s number.
Ask at the consultation which days and times the San Jose center can offer. Then try the drive once at the planned hour, with the child in the car if you can, before you settle the weekly plan.
