ABA Therapy for Families in Piedmont
One of the shortest trips to our Oakland center: about 6 minutes from Piedmont without traffic.
Center-based · BCBA-led · Oakland & San Jose
Piedmont is a small city completely surrounded by Oakland, and our Oakland center at 3300 Webster St, Suite 210 is about 6 minutes from it without traffic, roughly 2.1 miles. It is among the shortest trips of any family we serve, and every session is at that center.
We provide center-based ABA only, with no in-home or telehealth sessions. A Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) writes the plan, behavior technicians work with your child, and parents are taught the techniques so progress carries over. The start is a free 30-minute consultation and an insurance check.
A short trip, and what to check
Piedmont streets climb into the hills, and the 6-minute figure is measured for the city as a whole. A house high in the hills starts farther from the flat roads into Oakland than one near the edge of town, so the real number can be a few minutes higher or lower.
Short trips are sensitive to traffic. Six minutes can turn into twelve when school drop-off and commute traffic overlap on the roads toward Webster Street, so try the drive at your child's actual session time. Emeryville is the same distance away (about 6 minutes), Albany is about 11 and Berkeley about 12.
Piedmont families: schools, funding and plan choices
Piedmont has its own school system, the Piedmont Unified School District, so Piedmont children are not in the Oakland Unified School District. If your child has an IEP, bring it to the consultation so the BCBA can read the school goals beside the ABA goals.
Piedmont 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.
Blue Shield of California is one of the plans we work with. A fully insured Blue Shield plan sold in California falls under the state autism coverage law, while an employer plan that Blue Shield only administers may not; see our Blue Shield of California page for how the check works.
A short drive still needs a schedule
With a trip this short, the practical questions move from getting there to fitting therapy around school and other activities. Share your pickup times and commitments at the consultation so session days can be set around them. The center and the team are available Monday to Friday, 9am to 6pm PT.
The Oakland center page has the address, phone number and map. Piedmont families who also have a child in a neighboring town can compare: Emeryville is about 6 minutes, Albany about 11 and Berkeley about 12 from the center.
