Arkansas recorded 124 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update, representing 1% of the national weekly total. The file lists 75 providers added this week and 78 this year. That share signals a relatively small presence in national registry activity, but the count is not a measure of active staffing, hiring or appointment availability.
ABA Workforce Mix
The credential summary reports 58 RBTs and no BCBAs or dual BCBA-RBT credentials. Without BCBAs in the summary, an RBT-to-BCBA ratio cannot be calculated; the data therefore offers no evidence of supervisory capacity alongside the RBT count. This is an important limitation for ABA operators: RBTs provide direct services under BCBA supervision, so technician records alone do not establish that services can be clinically supervised. The file also reports 12 providers with multiple taxonomies. Taxonomy classifications can overlap, so those providers should not be added to credential counts as a separate workforce group.
Demographics and Organizations
Women account for 97 providers, or 87%; men account for 14, or 13%; and the file lists no nonbinary providers. Arkansas has 111 individual providers and 13 organizations. No notable organizations are identified in the update, so the data does not point to a repeated major employer. The listed cities include Conway, Little Rock, Fayetteville, Fort Smith and Springdale, suggesting activity across several population centers rather than a single-city registry footprint.
The update shows a substantial RBT listing but no BCBA records in its credential summary, highlighting a potential supervision-data gap that matters when assessing ABA workforce capacity and access in Arkansas.
