ABA Credential Mix
Within the individual providers, the data highlights a strong presence in Applied Behavior Analysis. There are 22 BCBAs and 37 RBTs. These credential counts are not mutually exclusive, as 7 providers hold dual BCBA and RBT credentials, a common career progression from direct care to a supervisory role. The ratio of approximately one BCBA for every 1.7 RBTs suggests a healthy supervision capacity, which is essential for delivering high-quality ABA services.
Workforce Demographics

No specific organizations were noted as appearing multiple times in this update. This consistent growth in both direct-service RBTs and supervisory BCBAs indicates a dynamic and expanding ABA workforce in Miami, likely supporting increased access to care for local families.
