South Bay LA recorded 56 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update, representing 1% of the national weekly total. The area added 39 new providers this week and lists 41 new providers this year. Records include 55 individuals and one organization, signaling a concentrated burst of practitioner registrations rather than broad activity among provider entities. NPI records do not establish whether a provider is actively practicing, accepting patients, staffing a site or offering ABA services.
ABA Credential Mix
The registry identifies 7 BCBA providers and 34 RBT providers. These categories can overlap, but the supplied data reports 0 dual credentials for providers holding both BCBA and RBT credentials. The credential counts therefore should not be treated as mutually exclusive workforce shares. The larger RBT cohort points to stronger direct-service capacity than supervisory capacity, a pattern that can constrain caseload growth if BCBA availability does not expand with technician staffing. The registry also reports 7 providers with multiple taxonomies, reinforcing that credential and taxonomy categories may overlap and should not be added together.
Workforce Demographics
Women account for 42 providers, or 76% of the reported workforce. Men account for 9 providers, or 16%, and 4 providers, or 7%, are nonbinary. No notable organization appearing multiple times was identified in the supplied data. El Segundo is the largest city cluster with 23 providers, followed by Torrance with 12, Gardena with 11, Hermosa Beach with 5 and Redondo Beach with 3; Lomita and Manhattan Beach each have one. The concentration of RBT registrations across these cities, alongside a smaller BCBA group, suggests that expanding supervisory capacity will be central to improving ABA access as local workforce activity grows.
