ABA Credential Mix
Among individual practitioners, the data shows 3 BCBAs and 18 RBTs. This ratio of 1 BCBA for every 6 RBTs is a key indicator of supervision capacity within the ABA sector; a higher BCBA presence would strengthen supervisory oversight for direct care RBTs. No providers held dual BCBA and RBT credentials in this update, which typically signals career progression. Beyond ABA, the registry also includes 4 LMHCs, 2 LCSWs, 1 M.S., CF-SLP, 1 M.A. LMHC, 1 MS, LMHC, and 1 BEHAVIOR TECHNICIAN. The BEHAVIOR TECHNICIAN credential often aligns with RBT roles. Additionally, 6 providers reported multiple taxonomies, indicating a breadth of services offered.

The individual provider workforce in Jacksonville shows a clear gender distribution, with 27 female providers making up 79% of the total. Six male providers account for 18%, and 1 provider identifies as nonbinary (3%). Notably, IMA Evaluations appeared twice in the registry, suggesting its significant presence in the local behavioral health landscape. The consistent addition of 18 new providers this week points to a growing workforce poised to enhance behavioral health service access for Jacksonville residents.
