What’s available in Albany

Berkeley is about 2 miles away, which is a school-run sort of distance rather than an expedition. Families in Albany can realistically use a center for peer and classroom-readiness goals while keeping in-home sessions for the routines that only happen at home.

Coverage itself is set statewide, not locally. Medi-Cal covers medically necessary ABA for eligible children anywhere in California, and California’s autism insurance law reaches private plans issued in the state. Your address changes which providers can reach you — it doesn’t change whether you’re covered.
