SCUBA Provider Metrics

Overview

Welcome to SCUBA — Scott’s Completely Unscientific Behaviorist Assessment — where I track directional trends in ABA provider hiring, growth, and strategy using publicly available data.

The Provider SCUBA presents monthly updates based on LinkedIn staffing trends, job postings, and geographic presence. It surfaces directional insights into provider strategy, market consolidation, and operational pressure points.

⚠️ Important Note on Methodology

This data isn’t perfect. LinkedIn misses many direct care staff, and state counts come from provider websites, which aren't always current. But taken together, these signals help us understand momentum, not precision — and that’s often what matters most. Feedback and corrections are always welcome.
