Central Valley recorded 252 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update, representing 2% of the national weekly total. The registry added 154 new providers this week, a sharp signal of current enrollment activity across the region, though NPI records do not establish whether providers are actively practicing, accepting patients or staffing distinct sites. The market includes 238 individuals and 14 organizations, indicating that activity is driven primarily by individual clinicians and direct-care workers.

ABA Credential Mix

The update lists 7 BCBA providers and 112 RBT providers, with 2 dual-credentialed providers holding both BCBA and RBT credentials. These categories overlap, so the dual-credentialed providers are included in both the BCBA and RBT counts and should not be added as a separate workforce total. The pronounced imbalance toward RBTs points to a substantial direct-service workforce but a comparatively small pool of clinicians available for BCBA-level assessment, treatment planning and supervision. The registry also reports 41 providers with multiple taxonomies; taxonomy and credential categories are not mutually exclusive.

Workforce Demographics

Women account for 175 providers, or 74% of the reported workforce. Men account for 43 providers, or 18%, and nonbinary providers account for 20, or 8%. No notable organization appears multiple times in the update. Sacramento leads the listed cities with 48 providers, followed by Fresno with 41, Modesto with 35, Riverbank with 28 and Elk Grove with 17. Overall, the update suggests Central Valley’s ABA access is expanding through RBT enrollment, while limited BCBA depth may constrain supervision capacity and sustained service growth.
