Credential Mix and Supervision Capacity
Among individual practitioners, the data shows 2 BCBA providers and 3 RBT providers. There were no dual-credentialed BCBA+RBT providers in this update. This 2:3 ratio of BCBAs to RBTs suggests a tight supervision capacity, as BCBAs are responsible for overseeing RBTs to ensure quality ABA service delivery. Additionally, the local behavioral health landscape includes other professionals, with 2 LMHCs, 2 LCSWs, 1 MPH, and 1 MA also registered, broadening the scope of available services beyond ABA.
Workforce Demographics
The individual provider workforce in Jacksonville is predominantly female, with 10 female providers accounting for 77% of the total. There are 2 male providers, representing 15%, and 1 nonbinary provider, making up 8%. No specific organizations appeared multiple times in this update, suggesting a diverse mix of independent practices or smaller clinics rather than dominance by multi-state chains. This data suggests a developing, albeit small, behavioral health workforce in Jacksonville, with a particular need for increased BCBA capacity to support RBTs and expand ABA access.
