Delaware recorded 22 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update, representing 0% of the national weekly total. Seven were added this week, and 10 have been added this year. The state’s limited share signals that Delaware remains a small contributor to national registry activity, even as new entries continue across behavioral health and related services.
ABA Workforce Mix
The registry reports 4 BCBA credentials and 4 RBT credentials, with no dual BCBA-RBT credentials. These categories are not mutually exclusive: credential and taxonomy fields can overlap, and the overall provider count also includes social workers, counselors, speech-language professionals and other behavioral health practitioners. The equal BCBA and RBT counts suggest a more balanced reported ABA mix than states with a large RBT-heavy workforce, but the absolute number of BCBAs still points to limited supervisory capacity. Because BCBAs oversee RBTs and treatment planning, a small supervisor pool can constrain how quickly direct-service capacity expands.
Provider Profile
Delaware’s entries divide evenly between 11 individuals and 11 organizations. Gender data identifies 11 female providers, with no male or nonbinary providers reported. The gender count matches the number of individual providers, so it should not be interpreted as a demographic breakdown of organizations. Wilmington, Newark, Dover, Smyrna and Lewes appear among the leading cities, indicating activity across several Delaware markets rather than a single location.
Recovery Innovations, Inc. appears twice in the notable-organizations field, with entries in Ellendale and Newark. Overall, the registry points to a small but geographically distributed behavioral health workforce, with ABA access likely to depend on adding both BCBAs for supervision and RBTs for direct care.
