Charlotte recorded 42 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update, representing 0% of the national weekly total. The registry lists 25 new providers this week and 31 new providers this year. Records include 31 individuals and 11 organizations, showing activity from both practitioners and provider entities. The city’s reported share signals that Charlotte is a relatively small portion of the national weekly registry activity, although NPI records do not establish whether providers are actively practicing, accepting patients, staffing a site or offering ABA services.
ABA Credential Mix
The update identifies 6 BCBA providers and 13 RBT providers. These categories overlap: 2 providers hold both BCBA and RBT credentials and are included in each count. The dual-credential group is notable because it may reflect progression from direct-care work toward behavior-analytic supervision, although the registry does not confirm current duties. The larger RBT count suggests more listed direct-care capacity than supervisory capacity, a pattern that can constrain clinic growth if BCBA availability does not expand alongside technician staffing. The registry also reports 11 providers with multiple taxonomies, so credential and taxonomy categories overlap and should not be treated as mutually exclusive workforce shares.
Workforce Demographics
Women account for 27 providers, or 87% of the reported workforce. Men account for 4 providers, or 13%; no nonbinary providers are reported. LM SERENITY INC. appears twice among notable organizations, indicating repeated NPI records for that entity rather than necessarily two separate provider operations. Charlotte’s combination of recent registry activity, a larger RBT listing and a smaller BCBA cohort suggests that expanding supervisory capacity may be important to improving ABA access as the local workforce develops.
