Kansas recorded 49 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update, representing 1% of the national weekly total. The update includes 20 new providers this week and 28 added this year, with 43 individuals and 6 organizations. The state’s small national share indicates that Kansas is contributing a limited portion of current registry activity, while the recent additions point to continued behavioral health participation across the market. NPI records reflect registry activity, not confirmed staffing, caseloads or appointment availability.
ABA Workforce Mix
The credential summary lists 2 BCBAs and 12 RBTs, with no providers carrying dual BCBA-RBT credentials. These categories should not be treated as a complete, mutually exclusive workforce census: providers may have multiple credentials or taxonomies, and six providers carry multiple taxonomies. The credential-text field reports 1 RBT, illustrating the difference between summarized credential and credential-text fields. Even with that limitation, the summary shows a technician-heavy ABA profile, with six RBTs for every BCBA. That pattern may support direct-service capacity but signals a relatively narrow documented supervisory pool for treatment planning, oversight and quality monitoring.
Demographics and Organizations
Gender data identifies 34 female providers, 6 male providers and 3 nonbinary providers—79%, 14% and 7%, respectively. The registry lists no notable organization appearing multiple times, although six organizations are included overall. The leading listed cities are Wichita, Overland Park, Lenexa, Basehor and Topeka, suggesting activity across both major urban centers and surrounding communities. The provider mix also includes counselors, social workers and speech-language pathologists, so the update extends beyond ABA-specific roles.
Kansas’s update suggests growing behavioral health participation alongside a small BCBA supervisory base, making sustained BCBA recruitment important to expanding ABA access.
