Kansas recorded 73 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update, representing 1% of the national weekly total. The registry added 36 new providers this week, indicating a meaningful burst of activity even though Kansas remains a small portion of nationwide growth. The provider base includes 67 individuals and 6 organizations, suggesting that most registry activity reflects individual workforce entries rather than new organizational entities.
ABA Workforce Mix
The update lists 6 BCBA credentials, 27 RBT credentials and 3 dual BCBA-RBT credentials. These credential and taxonomy counts overlap and are not mutually exclusive; the broader registry also includes social workers, counselors, speech-language pathologists and other behavioral health professionals. Still, the larger RBT count relative to the BCBA count points to a direct-service workforce that is substantially larger than its identified supervisory tier. Because BCBAs supervise RBTs and guide treatment planning, that pattern may limit how quickly clinics can expand services. The dual credentials are notable because they identify professionals combining technician-level and analyst-level credentials, a potential signal of career progression into supervision.
Demographics and Provider Activity
Gender data identifies 51 female providers, 8 male providers and 8 nonbinary providers, reported as 76%, 12% and 12%. Wichita, Overland Park, Topeka, Lenexa and Lawrence lead the listed city activity. Renewed Hope Behavioral Health appears twice among notable organizations, both in Wichita, while the registry lists six organizations overall.
Kansas’s expanding RBT presence suggests growing direct-care capacity, but the comparatively smaller BCBA pool indicates that supervision may remain a constraint on ABA access.
