Puerto Rico has 23 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update, with a reported 0% share of the national weekly total. The data lists 12 additions this week and 15 this year. The reported share indicates little representation in the national update, though the JSON does not provide the national count or explain how the share was rounded. NPI records capture registry activity, not confirmed hiring, staffing levels or service availability.
ABA Workforce Mix
The credential summary lists 2 BCBAs and 1 RBT, with no dual BCBA-RBT credentials reported. That small count leaves little evidence of a broad ABA workforce in this update. BCBAs supervise RBTs, so the listed mix points to limited visible supervisory capacity relative to technician capacity—but these counts are not a full workforce census. The file also reports six providers with multiple taxonomies; those records can carry overlapping classifications and should not be read as six additional providers. The registry includes 19 individuals and four organizations, accounting for the total.
Demographics and Organizations
Women make up 63% of listed providers and men 37%; no nonbinary providers are reported. The organization list contains no notable organizations, so the data does not identify a repeated major employer. Ponce, Caguas, Guayama, Guaynabo and Guayanilla are the leading listed cities. The file includes several clinical social workers and speech-language pathologists alongside the small number of ABA credentials, but credential and taxonomy categories can overlap and are not mutually exclusive shares.
Overall, this update shows limited visible BCBA and RBT representation in Puerto Rico’s registry activity, suggesting that monitoring ABA-specific workforce growth will be important when assessing access across the island.
