Delaware added 5 behavioral health providers in the latest CMS NPI registry update, representing 0% of the national weekly total. This minimal activity indicates a very limited expansion in the state's behavioral health sector this week, with 4 individuals and 1 organization newly enrolled.
Workforce Composition and Specializations
Notably, this week's data for Delaware shows no new Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) or Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs). The only specific credential listed is 1 LCSW credential. The new providers encompass diverse specializations, including Mental Health Counselor, Speech-Language Pathologist, Addiction Counselor, and Clinical Social Worker, none of which are specific to applied behavior analysis. This suggests no direct growth in the state's ABA workforce during this period.
Demographic Insights
Among the individual providers added this week, the workforce is exclusively female, accounting for 100% female representation. There were no organizations appearing multiple times in the new enrollments, indicating a varied entry of single entities rather than expansion from existing chains. The top cities for these new providers were Wilmington, Middletown, and Selbyville.
The absence of new BCBA or RBT credentials in this update suggests that Delaware's ABA workforce did not expand this week, potentially impacting the future availability of ABA services in the state.
