Connecticut recorded 92 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update, representing 1% of the national weekly total. The registry added 36 providers this week, signaling a notable burst of activity in a state that remains a small portion of nationwide behavioral health growth. The entries include 67 individuals and 25 organizations, indicating expansion through both clinicians and provider entities.
Credential Mix
The registry lists 3 BCBA credentials and 8 RBT credentials, with no dual BCBA-RBT credentials reported. These categories are not mutually exclusive: credential and taxonomy fields can overlap, and the overall provider count includes professionals outside ABA. The data also includes one provider with “MS, BCBA, LBA” and one with “BCBA, LBA,” reinforcing that state licensure and certification may appear together rather than as separate workforce categories. Even with that overlap, the pattern shows a larger direct-service RBT presence than BCBA supervisory capacity. Because BCBAs supervise RBTs and direct clinical planning, limited representation in the supervisory tier could constrain how quickly ABA services expand.
Workforce Profile
Gender data identifies 59 providers as female, 6 as male and 2 as nonbinary, corresponding to 88%, 9% and 3%. Those counts total 67, matching the number of individual providers. The registry’s leading cities are Hartford, New Haven, Waterbury, Stamford and Fairfield, suggesting activity across several major Connecticut markets rather than a single urban center.
No organizations appear in the notable-organizations field, and the update does not identify a provider appearing multiple times there. Overall, Connecticut’s activity points to growing behavioral health capacity, but the small BCBA base relative to RBT representation suggests supervision may remain a key limit on ABA access.
