Delaware saw 10 new behavioral health providers added in the latest CMS NPI registry update. This represents 0% of the national weekly total, indicating a very limited influx of new professionals compared to other states. The new additions comprise 5 individuals and 5 organizations, all enrolled this week.
ABA Workforce Composition
Within this group, ABA-specific credentials like BCBA and RBT are notably absent. The data shows no new BCBAs or RBTs by credential. However, one individual is listed with a "Behavior Technician" taxonomy, a role crucial for direct ABA service delivery. Other new individual credentials include 1 LCSW and 1 PhD, indicating growth in broader mental health fields rather than specialized ABA roles this week. The lack of new BCBAs and RBTs suggests minimal expansion of the supervised ABA workforce in Delaware from this update.
Provider Demographics
Demographically, all 5 individual providers added this week are female, accounting for 100% of new individual registrants. There were no male or nonbinary individual providers. No organizations appeared multiple times in this week's data, indicating a diverse set of new entities rather than expansion from existing multi-state chains. The new providers are spread across cities like Newark, Claymont, Dover, Camden, and Middletown.
This week's data suggests that while Delaware is seeing some general behavioral health growth, the specific expansion of the ABA workforce, particularly in supervisory BCBA roles and RBT direct service providers, was not a focus of these latest additions.
