Atlanta recorded 29 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update, representing 0% of the national weekly total reported in the dataset. The registry added 18 new providers this week and lists 20 new providers this year. Records include 25 individuals and 4 organizations, showing activity from both clinicians and behavioral health entities. The registry count is a measure of NPI activity, not a direct count of staffed locations, active caseloads or available appointments.
ABA Credential Mix
The credential summary lists 2 BCBA providers and 10 RBT providers, with no providers identified as holding both credentials. These categories should not be treated as a complete or mutually exclusive workforce census: credential and taxonomy fields can differ. For example, one provider is listed with an RBT credential and a BCBA taxonomy, while another holds an MA, BCBA, LBA credential and a BCBA taxonomy. The reported totals therefore describe registry classifications rather than a definitive count of distinct ABA roles. Even so, the imbalance between the RBT and BCBA counts points to a workforce weighted toward direct-care staffing, with a smaller pool of behavior analysts available for supervision and treatment planning. The registry also reports 3 multi-taxonomy providers, reinforcing that classifications overlap.
Workforce Demographics
Women account for 19 providers, or 76% of the reported workforce. Men account for 6 providers, or 24%; no nonbinary providers are reported. The update identifies no notable organization appearing multiple times. All listed records are in Atlanta, without a reported corporate-headquarters skew. Overall, the update suggests Atlanta is adding behavioral health registry activity, but ABA access growth may depend on expanding BCBA supervision capacity alongside its larger RBT workforce.
