Delaware added 8 behavioral health providers in the latest weekly CMS update. This represents 0% of the national total, indicating a modest contribution to the overall national growth in behavioral health professionals this week.
ABA Workforce Composition
Within the applied behavior analysis (ABA) field, the data shows 1 provider with a BCBA taxonomy. Notably, the summary indicates 0 Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) by credential, though one individual is listed with a 'Behavior Technician' taxonomy. This distinction highlights that while the NPI registry tracks various professional roles, specific credential counts may not always align perfectly with taxonomy classifications. There were no providers with dual BCBA and RBT credentials, further indicating a very limited expansion of the ABA workforce and supervision capacity in the state this week.
Provider Demographics
Of the 8 new providers, 6 are individuals and 2 are organizations. The individual workforce is predominantly female, with 5 women accounting for 83% of new individual providers, compared to 1 male provider at 17%. No organizations appeared multiple times in this week's data.
The limited number of new ABA-specific providers this week suggests a slow pace of expansion for direct ABA services and supervision capacity in Delaware during this period.
