ABA Credential Mix
Among the individual providers, the data shows 1 BCBA and 22 RBTs. There were no providers holding both BCBA and RBT credentials in this update. This ratio of 22 RBTs to 1 BCBA suggests a significant demand for supervision, as BCBAs are responsible for overseeing RBTs' clinical work. Other notable credentials include 4 Licensed Clinical Social Workers (LCSW), 1 MA, LMHC, 1 PHD, HSPP, and 1 MSW. Additionally, 4 providers hold multiple taxonomies, reflecting diverse skill sets.
Workforce Demographics
The individual provider workforce in Indianapolis is predominantly female, with 27 female providers accounting for 77%. Male providers number 6, representing 17%, while 2 providers identify as nonbinary, making up 6%. No organizations appeared multiple times in this week's update.
This data suggests a growing RBT workforce in Indianapolis, but the high RBT-to-BCBA ratio may indicate a need for more supervisory-level professionals to support expanding ABA services.
