Austin recorded 38 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update, representing 0% of the national weekly total reported in the dataset. The registry lists 17 providers new this week and 22 new this year, including 29 individuals and nine organizations. The city’s reported concentration signals ongoing provider-registration activity in Austin, but NPI records do not confirm whether a provider is actively practicing, accepting patients, staffing a clinic or offering ABA services.
ABA Credential Mix
The update identifies three BCBA providers and six RBT providers. These categories overlap: one provider holds both BCBA and RBT credentials and is included in both counts. That dual credential may indicate progression from direct-care work toward behavior-analytic supervision, although the registry does not establish current duties. The larger RBT group suggests more documented direct-service capacity than supervisory capacity, a pattern that can constrain clinic growth if BCBA availability does not expand with technician staffing. Nine providers have multiple taxonomies, so credential and taxonomy categories are not mutually exclusive and should not be added as separate workforce shares.
Workforce Demographics
Among records with reported gender data, 22 providers are female, representing 76%; six are male, representing 21%; and one is nonbinary, representing 3%. These gender records do not account for all 38 providers, so the breakdown should not be treated as a complete demographic profile of Austin’s registry. No notable organization appears multiple times in the supplied data. Austin’s combination of new registrations, a larger RBT count and a smaller BCBA group suggests that expanding supervisory capacity will remain important to improving ABA access as the local workforce develops.
