Delaware's behavioral health sector saw 10 total providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update. This represents 0% of the national weekly total, indicating a very small, localized expansion in the state's provider landscape during this period.
ABA Workforce Composition
Within the applied behavior analysis (ABA) field, the update includes 1 Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) and 1 Registered Behavior Technician (RBT). There were no providers identified with dual BCBA and RBT credentials in this dataset. The 1-to-1 ratio of BCBAs to RBTs is atypical for the ABA industry, where a higher ratio of RBTs to BCBAs is generally needed to ensure adequate supervision capacity for direct service delivery. This suggests a very limited growth in the ABA workforce from this specific update.
Provider Demographics
The update comprises 5 individual providers and 5 organizations. Among the individual providers, the workforce is exclusively female, with women accounting for 100%. No male or nonbinary individual providers were listed. No organizations appeared multiple times in this week's data, suggesting a variety of smaller, independent entities rather than a dominant multi-state chain.
This snapshot of Delaware's behavioral health data, particularly the minimal growth in ABA credentials, points to a constrained expansion of ABA services and workforce capacity in the state.
