South Florida recorded 309 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update, representing 3% of the national weekly total. The registry lists 256 individuals and 53 organizations, indicating activity from both clinicians and provider entities. That concentration signals a substantial behavioral health market, although NPI records do not confirm whether providers are actively practicing, accepting patients, staffing a specific site or offering ABA services.

ABA Credential Mix

The update identifies 56 BCBA providers and 161 RBT providers. These categories overlap: 10 providers hold both BCBA and RBT credentials and are included in each count. The dual-credential group is notable because it may reflect progression from direct care toward behavior-analytic supervision, though the registry does not establish current job duties. The larger RBT population points to substantial direct-service capacity, while the smaller BCBA count highlights a potential supervision constraint as clinics expand. The registry also reports 57 providers with multiple taxonomies, so credential and taxonomy categories are not mutually exclusive and should not be added as separate shares.

Workforce Demographics

Women account for 188 providers, or 73% of the reported workforce. Men account for 54 providers, or 21%, while 14 providers are identified as nonbinary, or 5%; the reported percentages reflect rounding. No notable organizations were identified as appearing multiple times in the update. Miami is the largest city concentration, with 104 providers, followed by Stuart with 22, Hialeah with 21, Homestead with 13 and West Palm Beach with 11. Overall, the update suggests South Florida has strong ABA workforce activity, but continued access growth will depend on expanding BCBA supervision capacity alongside its sizable RBT workforce.
