ABA Credential Mix

Additionally, 1 provider holds a "BCBA, LBA" credential, and another holds a "BCABA, LBA" credential. It is important to note that these credential counts are not mutually exclusive, as 1 provider holds both a BCBA-level credential and an RBT credential. This suggests a total of 5 BCBA-level supervisors (BCBA or BCBA, LBA) for the RBT workforce, indicating a healthy supervision capacity crucial for quality ABA services. Beyond ABA, the area also registered other behavioral health professionals, including 3 LCSWs, 3 LPCs, 1 LCDC, and 2 PhDs.
