Within the individual providers, the data highlights a significant focus on direct care roles in Applied Behavior Analysis. The update includes 1 BCBA and 12 RBTs. No providers reported holding dual BCBA and RBT credentials in this update. The ratio of one BCBA to twelve RBTs indicates a substantial need for supervisory capacity to support the growing RBT workforce, a common trend in regions expanding ABA services. Additionally, 1 provider holds an M.S. CCC-SLP credential, reflecting some multidisciplinary growth in the area.
Workforce Demographics

Male providers account for 3 individuals, and 1 nonbinary provider was also reported. This gender distribution aligns with broader trends in the behavioral health sector. No specific organizations were listed multiple times in this week's update, suggesting a diverse entry of new entities rather than expansion from a single large employer.
Overall, this data points to a robust influx of direct-service RBTs in Las Vegas, underscoring the ongoing demand for BCBA supervisors to ensure high-quality, accessible ABA services for local families.
