These credential counts are not mutually exclusive, as 1 provider holds both BCBA and RBT credentials, a common career progression from direct care to a supervisory role. The ratio of one BCBA for every 6 RBTs suggests a significant need for supervisory capacity relative to direct service providers in the area. Beyond ABA, the update also includes other behavioral health professionals such as 3 LPCs, 2 LCSWs, and 1 PH.D., contributing to a diverse care landscape.
Workforce Demographics

Male providers account for 10 individuals (23%), and 2 providers identify as nonbinary (5%). No specific organizations were noted as appearing multiple times in this update. This data suggests a growing demand for direct ABA services in San Antonio, with a need for continued development of supervisory BCBA roles to support the expanding RBT workforce and ensure quality care access.
