ABA Credential Mix
Among individual practitioners, the data shows 19 BCBA providers and 42 RBT providers. It is important to note that 4 providers hold both BCBA and RBT credentials, meaning they are counted in both categories and signaling career progression from direct care to a supervisory role. This results in a BCBA to RBT ratio of approximately 1:2.2, suggesting a healthy supervision capacity for ABA services in the region. Additionally, 20 providers reported multiple taxonomies, reflecting a diverse skill set beyond primary ABA roles, including other mental health professionals.

No specific organizations appeared multiple times in this week's update to indicate a dominant multi-state employer presence. The ongoing influx of new providers, particularly in direct care roles, suggests a growing demand for and access to behavioral health services in Miami.
