ABA Credential Breakdown
Within the individual providers, the data shows a strong focus on Applied Behavior Analysis. There are 18 BCBAs and 46 RBTs. These credential counts are not mutually exclusive, as 4 providers hold dual BCBA and RBT credentials, a common sign of career progression from direct care to a supervisory role. The ratio of approximately one BCBA for every 2.6 RBTs suggests adequate supervision capacity, which is crucial for maintaining high-quality ABA services.

Among organizations, Independence Assistance, LLC was listed three times in the update. This steady influx of both direct-service RBTs and supervising BCBAs indicates a dynamic and expanding ABA workforce in the Miami area, likely supporting increased access to care for local families.
