Orlando's behavioral health sector includes 27 providers from the latest CMS NPI registry update, representing 0% of the national weekly total. This localized activity points to continued growth within the region's provider network. The new registrations consist of 22 individual practitioners and 5 organizations, indicating a mix of solo providers and new agency development.
ABA Workforce Composition
Among the individual practitioners, the data shows a strong presence of Applied Behavior Analysis professionals. The update includes 11 RBTs and 4 BCBAs. These credential counts are not mutually exclusive, as 2 providers hold dual BCBA and RBT credentials, a common sign of career progression from direct care to a supervisory role. The resulting ratio of nearly three RBTs for every one BCBA suggests sufficient supervision capacity to support quality clinical services.
Provider Demographics
The individual provider workforce in Orlando is predominantly female, with women accounting for 77% of the total. The group is composed of 17 female providers, four male providers, and one nonbinary provider. While no single large employer dominated this week's update, the steady registration of both direct-service RBTs and supervising BCBAs signals a dynamic and expanding ABA workforce, likely enhancing access to care for families in the Orlando area.
