Austin recorded 52 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update, representing 0% of the national weekly total reported in the dataset. The update lists 30 new providers this week and 31 new providers this year, including 36 individuals and 16 organizations. The volume of recent registrations signals active provider formation or enrollment in the Austin market, although NPI records do not confirm that providers are currently practicing, accepting patients, staffing a location or offering ABA services.
ABA Credential Mix
The registry identifies 8 BCBAs and 10 RBTs, with 1 dual credential holder listed as both. These categories overlap: the dual BCBA-RBT provider is included in both credential counts, so they should not be added as mutually exclusive groups. The credential pattern shows a slightly larger direct-care RBT pool than BCBA supervisory pool. In ABA operations, that balance can support service delivery only if BCBAs have capacity to supervise RBTs and manage clinical caseloads. The registry also reports 11 providers with multiple taxonomies, further underscoring that credential and taxonomy counts can overlap.
Workforce Demographics
Among the gender records provided, 28 providers are female, representing 78%; 6 are male, representing 17%; and 2 are nonbinary, representing 6%. These figures total 36, matching the number of individuals in the registry, and do not describe the 16 organizations. No notable organizations are identified in the summary, although Action Behavior Centers appears in two separate organization records, both carrying a BCBA taxonomy. Overall, Austin’s update suggests expanding behavioral health activity and a developing ABA workforce, with access growth likely tied to increasing BCBA supervision capacity alongside RBT hiring.
