Frequently Asked Questions

A formal autism diagnosis is not required to begin services. We support children and families navigating a range of behavioral, social, and developmental needs.

If an autism evaluation or diagnosis is recommended, we’re happy to collaborate with other professionals and guide you through the process to ensure your child receives the support they need.

In many ABA therapy models, services are primarily delivered by behavior technicians (RBTs), who implement treatment plans under the supervision of a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA). While this approach is widely used, it often means the BCBA is not consistently present during day-to-day therapy.

At Oak & Sage Behavioral, services are designed, implemented, & modified by a BCBA. This allows for a higher level of clinical quality, consistency, and responsiveness, with real-time decision-making and individualized support.

We intentionally maintain limited caseloads to ensure each child and family receives focused, high-quality care.

Yes. In addition to direct 1:1 therapy services with the child, Oak & Sage Behavioral offers parent-led ABA therapy.

These services are delivered remotely via Telehealth and are available to families nationwide. In-person options are also available, depending on location. We work collaboratively to assess your child’s needs, develop individualized behavior strategies, and support you in implementing them within your daily routines.

Parent-led ABA services are ideal for families seeking flexible, expert guidance without direct 1:1 therapy, or for families on ABA waitlists with other providers. While caregivers lead implementation, you receive clinical support, feedback, and individualized recommendations from a BCBA.

Oak & Sage Behavioral operates as a private-pay practice, which makes us an Out-of-Network provider.

While we do not bill insurance directly, we partner with Thrizer to help families utilize their out-of-network benefits and better understand potential costs prior to starting with us.
