Nebraska's behavioral health provider registry contains 62 total providers, representing 1% of the national weekly update. This modest concentration reflects Nebraska's smaller population relative to peer states, though the addition of 1 provider this week and 34 new entries year-to-date signals steady workforce growth in a market where ABA capacity has historically lagged regional demand.
The credential mix reveals a constrained supervision structure. Nebraska reports 6 BCBAs against 22 RBTs—a ratio of roughly 1 supervisor to 3.7 technicians. Only 1 provider holds dual BCBA and RBT credentials, limiting the flexibility that career-progressed clinicians typically bring to smaller markets. The presence of 1 BCBA with LBA (state licensure layered on national certification) suggests some Nebraska providers are pursuing dual credentialing, though this remains rare. The remaining 20 providers hold mental health licenses—LIMHPs, LCSWs, and related credentials—indicating that general behavioral health practitioners significantly outnumber ABA specialists.
Gender distribution skews female at 60%, with 27% identifying as nonbinary and 13% as male. Providers concentrate in Omaha, Lincoln, Bellevue, Papillion, and Grand Island, clustering around the state's urban corridor and leaving rural access gaps that large multi-state ABA operators have yet to fill aggressively.
Nebraska's ABA workforce remains small and undersupervised relative to its RBT population, suggesting continued reliance on imported talent or telehealth models to meet growing demand.
