Orlando's behavioral health sector registered 21 total providers in the latest CMS NPI registry update. This represents less than 1% of the national weekly total, indicating localized but consistent growth. Of these, 12 new providers registered this week, accounting for all new registrations this year. The total includes 18 individual practitioners and 3 organizations.
ABA Credential Mix
Among individual practitioners, the data shows 1 BCBA provider and 11 RBT providers. There were no providers holding both BCBA and RBT credentials in this update. This ratio of 1 BCBA to 11 RBTs suggests a significant need for more supervisory capacity to support the growing RBT workforce and ensure quality ABA service delivery. Beyond ABA, Orlando's behavioral health landscape also includes 1 Registered Mental Health Counselor Intern (RMHCI), 1 provider with a general COUNSELING credential, and 1 Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), alongside other taxonomies like Speech-Language Pathologist and Assistant Behavior Analyst, reflecting a broader scope of available care.
Workforce Demographics
The individual provider workforce in Orlando is predominantly female, with 15 practitioners (83%) identifying as female, compared to 3 practitioners (17%) who are male. No nonbinary providers were registered in this update. There were no specific organizations appearing multiple times in this update, suggesting a diverse landscape of independent providers and smaller clinics rather than dominance by multi-state chains. The current data highlights a growing RBT workforce in Orlando but also points to a critical need for more BCBAs to ensure adequate supervision and expand access to comprehensive ABA services.
