Delaware recorded 23 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update, representing 0% of the national weekly total. The registry lists 14 new providers this week, including 20 individuals and 3 organizations. Delaware’s small share signals a limited volume of registry activity compared with the national update, not necessarily the size of the state’s full behavioral health workforce or its active service capacity.
ABA Workforce Mix
The registry lists 0 BCBA credentials and 3 RBT credentials, with 0 dual BCBA-RBT credentials. Credential and taxonomy fields can overlap, so these counts are not mutually exclusive shares of the 23 providers. The absence of a listed BCBA alongside three RBTs suggests little visible supervisory capacity in this weekly snapshot. Because BCBAs supervise RBTs, develop treatment plans and monitor clinical quality, a technician-heavy profile without identified BCBAs could limit how quickly ABA providers expand services or accept new cases. The registry also includes an Assistant Behavior Analyst, but that taxonomy is separate from the BCBA count.
Demographics and Organizations
Gender data identifies 19 female providers and 1 male provider; no nonbinary providers are listed. That corresponds to 95% female, 5% male and 0% nonbinary. The listed cities are Newark, Dover, Wilmington, Bridgeville and Odessa, pointing to activity across several Delaware markets. No notable organization appears multiple times in the update. The three organizations include providers in Dover, Newark and Wilmington, while the remaining entries are individuals. Repeated taxonomy categories, including mental health counseling and speech-language pathology, do not represent repeated organizations or equivalent clinical capacity.
Delaware’s update suggests modest ABA-related activity, with RBT presence but no listed BCBA credentials, making supervision and workforce development important factors for future access.
