Vermont added 9 behavioral health providers in the latest weekly CMS update, accounting for 0% of the national total. This minimal influx suggests a very slow pace of growth for the state's behavioral health workforce this period.
Workforce Composition
Notably, this week's data for Vermont includes no new Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) or Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs). The individual providers listed include 1 LICSW and 1 MSW, indicating growth in other mental health disciplines rather than applied behavior analysis specifically. This absence means no immediate expansion of the ABA supervision or direct service capacity from this update.
Provider Demographics
Among the 8 individual providers, the workforce is predominantly female, with women accounting for 75% of the total. Male providers make up 25%. There was 1 new organization, but no organizations appeared multiple times in this week's data.
The lack of new ABA-specific credentials in this update suggests no immediate expansion of the ABA workforce in Vermont from these recent enrollments.
