Wisconsin recorded 139 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update, representing 1% of the national weekly total. The registry added 83 new providers this week, with 88 recorded so far this year. Wisconsin’s count includes 126 individuals and 13 organizations. Its modest national share points to a smaller but active behavioral health market, with provider activity distributed across Milwaukee, La Crosse, Madison, Appleton and Janesville rather than concentrated in a single city.

ABA Workforce Mix

The registry lists 6 BCBA credentials and 10 RBT credentials, with no dual BCBA-RBT credentials recorded. These credential categories can overlap with other credential and taxonomy fields, so they are not mutually exclusive shares of the 139-provider total. The RBT count exceeds the BCBA count, indicating more direct-service capacity than supervisory capacity in the ABA portion of the registry. Because BCBAs supervise RBTs, a relatively small BCBA pool could limit how quickly Wisconsin clinics expand services, even when technician recruitment is available. The absence of dual credentials also provides no evidence in this update of providers formally combining the two roles.

Demographics and Activity

Among individual providers, 108 are female, 12 are male and 6 are nonbinary, corresponding to 86%, 10% and 5%. The percentages are registry-reported and reflect the 126 individual records. No notable organization appears multiple times in the update; the organization records instead represent separate entities, including ABA Garden LLC and other behavioral health, counseling and clinical service providers. The broad mix also includes speech-language pathologists, professional counselors, clinical social workers, psychologists and addiction counselors, showing that the update captures behavioral health activity beyond ABA.

Wisconsin’s limited BCBA presence relative to RBTs suggests that supervisory capacity, rather than technician supply alone, may be the nearer-term constraint on ABA access.
