Delaware's behavioral health sector saw 19 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry update, with 8 new enrollments this week and 11 new providers added this year. Representing 0% of the national weekly total, this indicates a smaller, more localized market for behavioral health services in the state, with growth primarily driven by individual practitioners and smaller organizations.
Credential Mix and Supervision Capacity
The ABA workforce within this group shows a unique distribution. The data identifies 5 providers holding Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) credentials and 4 providers as Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs). Notably, one provider holds dual BCBA and RBT credentials, indicating a career path from technician to supervisor. This strong ratio of BCBAs to RBTs suggests ample supervision capacity for direct service providers, which is crucial for maintaining high-quality ABA therapy and supporting RBT development in a smaller market.
Workforce Demographics
Among the 10 individual providers, the workforce is exclusively female, with 100% identifying as women. There were no organizations appearing multiple times in this week's update, suggesting a diverse landscape of independent practices rather than dominant multi-state chains. The update included 9 organizations and 10 individuals.
This data points to a small but well-supervised and predominantly female ABA workforce in Delaware, with growth primarily driven by individual practitioners and smaller organizations rather than large entities.
