Key takeaways
- Wyoming's State Board of Psychology licenses behavior analysts and assistant behavior analysts under W.S. 33-27-124: a license requires current BCBA or BCaBA certification verified with the certifying entity, and an assistant practices only under a licensed behavior analyst or psychologist.
- The board requests criminal history background information for all initial applicants and renewal applicants every two years, and requires legible fingerprint cards from all applicants for state and national criminal history records.
- Behavior technicians are exempt from licensure under W.S. 33-27-125 when they work under a licensed behavior analyst or assistant, use titles that show unlicensed status, and are not assigned to design assessment or intervention plans.
- DD waiver staff pass a Central Registry screening, a national criminal history check, and an OIG exclusion search, re-screen every five years, and complete the Chapter 45, Section 15 training topics before delivering services.

Where we staff in Wyoming
Focused Behavioral recruits and places across Wyoming's major markets — Cheyenne, Casper, Gillette, Laramie, Rock Springs, Sheridan, Green River, Evanston, Riverton, and Jackson — and the suburban and rural programs around them. That covers the southeast corridor from Cheyenne to Laramie, Casper in the center of the state, the Powder River Basin around Gillette and Sheridan, Sweetwater County and Evanston in the southwest, and the Wind River and Jackson Hole communities to the west.
The roles are the same statewide: RBTs and behavior technicians for clinic, in-home, and school-based ABA; BCBAs and BCaBAs for assessment, planning, and supervision; DSPs and residential staff for group homes and IDD/DD programs; and allied health roles. Tell us the city, the setting, and the shifts, and we build the pipeline there.
The Wyoming staffing reality
Wyoming added behavior analysts to its psychology practice act, so the State Board of Psychology licenses both behavior analysts and assistant behavior analysts. The license rests on current BACB certification that the board verifies with the certifying entity, and every applicant submits fingerprint cards for state and national criminal history records — with the background check repeated at renewal every two years. Technicians are not licensed: the statute exempts a behavior technician who works under a licensed behavior analyst or assistant and does not design assessment or intervention plans.
For people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, the Comprehensive and Supports Waivers run under Chapter 45 of the Wyoming Department of Health's Medicaid rules. Every manager, supervisor, and direct support worker passes a Department of Family Services Central Registry screening, a national criminal history check, and an OIG exclusion search, and completes the required training topics before delivering services. In a state where Cheyenne, Casper, Gillette, and Laramie sit hours apart, that file is what sets a start date.
One Wyoming client per region — your pipeline is yours
Most staffing agencies present the same candidates to every provider in a metro area, which means you are bidding against your neighbor for the same RBT or DSP. We do the opposite. Focused Behavioral works with one client per region, so if we build your pipeline in your part of Wyoming, we will not supply the provider across town. The candidates we develop for your programs go to your programs.
Wyoming's clearances and credentials, handled before you see a name
The longest stretch in most behavioral health hires is not finding the person — it is the paperwork. Our credentialing system tracks each candidate's licenses, clearances, TB tests, and vaccination records, flags expirations before they lapse, and keeps every file audit-ready. In practice, that automation cuts hiring time roughly in half. In Wyoming, the state's own background-check, registry, and licensure steps described below are verified before a candidate reaches your shortlist.
Temp-to-hire with no conversion fee
Every placement can begin as an evaluation. A professional works in your Wyoming program on our payroll; you watch how they handle real shifts, real clients, and real documentation. If they fit, they convert to your payroll — and the conversion fee is zero dollars. If they do not, you have lost nothing. It starts with a free 30-minute discovery call.
What Wyoming requires before a start
The BACB layer applies everywhere, Wyoming included. An RBT is at least 18, passes a background and abuse-registry check, completes the 40-hour training and competency assessment, passes the RBT exam, and is then supervised for at least 5% of service hours each month BACB, RBT 2026 requirements. A BCBA holds a master's degree or higher, completes behavior-analytic coursework or an accredited program and 2,000 hours of supervised fieldwork (or 1,500 concentrated hours), passes the BCBA exam, and recertifies every two years BACB, BCBA Handbook. Here is what Wyoming adds on top.
A Board of Psychology license — W.S. 33-27-124. The State Board of Psychology issues a license as a behavior analyst to an applicant who holds a current certification as a board certified behavior analyst, and as an assistant behavior analyst to an applicant who holds a current certification as a board certified assistant behavior analyst, in each case verified by the board with the certifying entity; the board may also license a person verified to be currently licensed and in good standing in another jurisdiction with comparable requirements. A licensed assistant behavior analyst may practice only under the supervision of a licensed behavior analyst or licensed psychologist, in compliance with the certifying entity's requirements. Representing oneself as a behavior analyst or assistant behavior analyst and practicing in violation of the act is a misdemeanor punishable by a fine of up to $750, up to six months in jail, or both W.S. 33-27-113, 33-27-119, 33-27-124.
Criminal history at application and every renewal. The board requests criminal history background information for all initial applicants and all renewal applicants every two years W.S. 33-27-116(o). To obtain state and national criminal history record information, the board requires legible fingerprint cards from all applicants, and no one may practice as a behavior analyst or assistant behavior analyst in Wyoming without first obtaining a license from the board Wyoming State Board of Psychology.
Behavior technicians work under a licensee. A behavior technician who delivers behavior analysis services under the supervision of a licensed behavior analyst or licensed assistant behavior analyst may do so without a license. The technician may not represent himself or herself as licensed, uses only titles that communicate unlicensed status — such as "applied behavior analysis technician," "behavior technician," or "tutor" — and may not be assigned to design assessment or intervention plans or procedures W.S. 33-27-125(a)(viii).
DD waiver background screenings — Chapter 45, Section 14. Any person who provides waiver services or may have unsupervised access to participants must complete and pass a background screening: a Department of Family Services Central Registry screening, a national criminal history record check based on name and Social Security number, and an OIG exclusion database search. A person who does not pass may not supervise, provide, or bill for waiver services. The Central Registry and criminal history screenings repeat every five years, and direct support staff are rechecked against the OIG database at least annually. At the provider's discretion, a staff member may serve participants 18 or older on a provisional basis while a submitted screening is in process, but not participants under 18 WDH, Chapter 45 Section 14 training.
Training before services — Chapter 45, Section 15. Before a provider or provider employee delivers waiver services, training must cover participant choice, participant rights and any rights restrictions, confidentiality, dignity and respect, preventing, recognizing, and reporting abuse, neglect, and exploitation, responding to injury, illness, and emergencies, billing and documentation, releases of information, grievance procedures, and implementing participant objectives; evidence of a completed training summary or test for each topic is kept in the employer's files WDH, Chapter 45 training series. Where CPR and First Aid certification applies, it must include a hands-on component from a nationally recognized curriculum, and anyone assisting participants with medications keeps a current certificate from the Division's Medication Assistance Training WDH, DD provider certification.

Common questions.
Where in Wyoming do you staff?
Statewide — the major markets named above and the suburban and rural programs around them. Tell us the city and the setting on the discovery call and we build the pipeline there.
Does a BCBA need a Wyoming license?
Yes. The Wyoming State Board of Psychology licenses behavior analysts and assistant behavior analysts under W.S. 33-27-124, based on current BACB certification verified with the certifying entity. The board requests criminal history information at application and every two-year renewal and requires fingerprint cards from all applicants. We verify the Wyoming license as active, not just the BACB certification.
Do Wyoming RBTs need a state license?
No. Under W.S. 33-27-125(a)(viii), a behavior technician who works under the supervision of a licensed behavior analyst or licensed assistant behavior analyst is exempt from licensure, must use a title that shows unlicensed status, and may not be assigned to design assessment or intervention plans. We verify the BACB credential and document the supervising licensee.
What background checks do Wyoming DSPs and group home staff need?
Under Chapter 45, Section 14 of the Wyoming Medicaid rules, DD waiver staff pass a Department of Family Services Central Registry screening, a national criminal history check based on name and Social Security number, and an OIG exclusion search, with the registry and criminal history screenings repeated every five years. We complete those screenings before a candidate reaches your shortlist.
What training do Wyoming DD waiver staff need?
Chapter 45, Section 15 requires training before services on participant choice and rights, confidentiality, dignity and respect, abuse and neglect reporting, emergencies, documentation, and participant objectives. Where CPR and First Aid certification applies, it must include a hands-on component, and staff who assist with medications complete the Division's Medication Assistance Training. We document each candidate's training status so you know what the start date carries.
What does temp-to-hire cost in Wyoming?
The agreed hourly bill rate during the evaluation, and no conversion fee when you bring the professional onto your own payroll. One client per region applies here as everywhere: if we build your pipeline in your territory, a competing provider there is not our client.
