South Florida recorded 255 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update, representing 3% of the national weekly total. The region added 106 providers this week and has recorded 121 providers this year. The registry includes 207 individuals and 48 organizations, signaling substantial provider activity across both the workforce and operating 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 update lists 56 BCBA providers and 116 RBT providers. These categories overlap: 18 providers hold both credentials and are included in each count, so the groups are not mutually exclusive. The dual-credential cohort is notable because it may reflect career progression from direct care toward behavior-analytic supervision. Even with that overlap, the larger RBT group indicates greater potential direct-service capacity than supervisory capacity. That imbalance can constrain clinic growth if BCBA availability does not keep pace with technician hiring. The registry also reports 67 providers with multiple taxonomies, further underscoring that credential and taxonomy categories should not be added as separate workforce shares.

Workforce Demographics

Women account for 178 providers, or 86% of the reported workforce. Men account for 28 providers, or 14%, while one nonbinary provider is listed. NeoBloom Kids Therapy Inc. and Kendall South Medical Center Inc. each appear twice among notable organizations. Miami leads the regional city counts with 77 providers, followed by Hialeah with 15 and West Palm Beach with 13. Stuart and Boca Raton each have 11. The concentration of RBTs and provider activity suggests South Florida’s ABA access may expand, but sustained growth will depend on building supervisory capacity alongside direct-care staffing.
