South Bay LA recorded 39 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update, with a reported 0% share of the national weekly total. The registry added 30 new providers this week, bringing the year’s new-provider count to 30. Records include 37 individuals and 2 organizations. The sharp weekly increase signals active credentialing and enrollment in the region, although NPI activity does not measure staffed sites, active caseloads or available appointments.
ABA Credential Mix
The registry lists 3 BCBA providers and 21 RBT providers. No provider is identified in the dual BCBA-RBT category. These credential counts are not a complete, mutually exclusive workforce breakdown: one provider lists “M.S, BCBA” as a credential, while taxonomy and credential fields can classify the same person differently. The other reported credentials include speech-language, social-work, counseling, addiction, medical and related qualifications. The RBT-heavy mix points to a sizable direct-care workforce, but the smaller BCBA pool may constrain supervision capacity as clinics add technicians and cases. The registry identifies 7 providers with multiple taxonomies, further underscoring that classification totals should not be added as separate groups.
Workforce Demographics
Women account for 27 providers, or 73% of the reported workforce. Men account for 7 providers, or 19%, and nonbinary providers account for 3 providers, or 8%. No notable organization appears multiple times in the update. El Segundo leads the area with 17 providers, followed by Torrance with 9, Gardena with 8, Redondo Beach with 4 and Hawthorne with 1. The data suggests South Bay LA’s ABA access may expand quickly, but sustained growth will depend on building BCBA supervision capacity alongside RBT hiring.
