Kansas recorded 56 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update, equal to 1% of the national weekly total. The file lists 23 new this week and 32 this year, including 49 individuals and 7 organizations. That concentration signals a relatively small share of reported national activity; registry entries, however, do not measure hiring, staffing levels or appointment availability.
ABA Workforce Mix
The credential summary lists 5 BCBAs and 15 RBTs, plus 4 providers with dual BCBA-RBT credentials. The dual-credential count overlaps those categories, so the figures should not be added as separate groups. The reported RBT count is three times the BCBA count, but that comparison is not a clean measure of distinct workers because of the overlap. It points to a larger technician pool than supervisor pool, making BCBA capacity important for oversight as ABA services expand. The summary also reports 20 providers with multiple taxonomies, another reason classifications may overlap rather than describe separate workforce segments.
Demographics and Organizations
Women make up 42 providers (86%); men account for 6 (12%), and 1 provider is nonbinary (2%). No notable organization was identified in the supplied data, and no organization name appears more than once in the provider records. Listed activity spans cities including Wichita, Overland Park, Topeka, Kansas City and Mission, while additional records extend to communities such as Hays, Lawrence and Manhattan.
Kansas’s update suggests a technician-heavy ABA workforce with a smaller reported BCBA pool, underscoring the importance of recruiting and retaining supervisors to support access across the state.
