Austin recorded 53 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update, representing 0% of the national weekly total reported in the dataset. The registry added 24 new providers this week, and 24 new providers this year. Austin’s records include 45 individuals and 8 organizations, signaling active local registration across clinicians and behavioral health entities. The NPI count is a measure of registry activity, not a direct count of staffed sites, active caseloads or available appointments.
ABA Credential Mix
The update lists 6 BCBAs and 14 RBTs, with 2 dual credentials held by providers listed as both BCBA and RBT. These categories overlap, so the dual-credential providers are included in both totals and should not be added as a separate workforce group. The dual pathway can reflect progression from direct-care work toward behavior-analytic supervision, although the registry does not show whether those BCBAs currently supervise RBTs. The RBT-to-BCBA mix suggests a larger direct-service pool than supervisory pool, potentially constraining caseload growth unless BCBA capacity expands. Overall, 14 providers have multiple taxonomies, and credential and taxonomy categories are not mutually exclusive.
Workforce Demographics
Women account for 37 providers, or 82% of the reported workforce. Men account for 6 providers, or 13%, while 2 nonbinary providers, or 4%, are reported. The dataset identifies no notable organizations through its repeated-organization field, although Action Behavior Centers appears under two Austin organization records, reflecting the presence of a major multi-state ABA employer. Austin’s activity points to expanding behavioral health access, with direct-care staffing outpacing BCBA supervision capacity.
