Delaware recorded 16 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update, including 9 new this week. The state’s reported share of the national weekly total was 0%, indicating that Delaware contributed only a small slice of nationwide registry activity. The total included 11 individuals and 5 organizations, pointing to a mix of clinicians and service entities rather than a provider surge concentrated in large organizations.
ABA Workforce Mix
The registry listed 1 BCBA and 3 RBTs, with no dual BCBA-RBT credentials reported. Because credential and taxonomy categories can overlap, these counts should not be treated as mutually exclusive shares of all providers. Still, the four ABA-specific entries show a direct-service workforce that is larger than its identified supervisory layer. With BCBAs responsible for supervising RBTs, the pattern suggests limited documented supervision capacity relative to the RBT presence, although the registry may not capture every credential held by each provider.
Demographics and Provider Footprint
Among Delaware’s providers, 10 female providers represented 91% of the gender data, while 1 male provider represented 9%. No nonbinary providers were reported. Four providers carried multiple taxonomies, another overlap that means taxonomy totals cannot be read as distinct workforce segments. No organization appeared multiple times in the update. Wilmington, Newark and Dover were among the listed cities, with additional entries in Middletown and Clayton.
Delaware’s small but newly active registry cohort, combined with a thin BCBA layer and several RBT entries, suggests that expanding ABA access may depend on building supervisory capacity alongside the direct-service workforce.
