Frequently Asked Questions

No. A formal autism diagnosis is not required to begin services. Oak & Sage supports children and families navigating a wide range of behavioral, developmental, social, and adaptive needs.

If additional evaluations or diagnostic services are recommended, we can collaborate with trusted professionals and help guide your family toward appropriate resources and support.

Oak & Sage Behavioral operates under a BCBA-only model. Unlike traditional ABA service models, services are provided directly by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst rather than behavior technicians, allowing families to work with the same clinician from assessment through implementation.

Yes. We offer parent-led ABA therapy through virtual consultation services available nationwide, with in-person options available in select locations.

Families receive individualized guidance, behavior strategies, and ongoing clinical support from a BCBA while implementing recommendations within their daily routines. These services are ideal for families seeking flexible support, additional parent coaching, or guidance while navigating ABA waitlists.

We operate as a private-pay practice, which allows us to provide highly personalized services without many of the limitations associated with insurance-based care.

While we do not bill insurance directly, families may be eligible for out-of-network reimbursement depending on their individual plan. We are also able to work with families participating in California's Self-Determination Program (SDP).
