South Florida has 263 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update, representing 3% of the national weekly total. The region’s registry includes 101 providers added this week and 118 added this year, alongside 216 individuals and 47 organizations. That concentration points to a substantial provider presence, though NPI listings alone do not confirm active practice, patient availability or ABA service delivery.

ABA Credential Mix

The registry reports 44 BCBA providers and 130 RBT providers, including 13 dual credentials. These counts overlap: dual BCBA-and-RBT providers are included in both categories, so the figures are not mutually exclusive shares. The larger RBT count indicates a workforce weighted toward direct-care roles, while the smaller BCBA pool is relevant to supervision capacity. Dual credentials may reflect career progression, but do not establish a provider’s current role. The data also lists 60 providers with multiple taxonomies, further cautioning against treating classifications as separate groups.

Workforce and Locations

Women account for 183 listed providers (85%), men 32 (15%), and one provider is listed as nonbinary; the reported nonbinary share is 0%. Communication Connection, Inc. appears twice in the organization records. Miami leads the listed cities with 88 providers, followed by Deerfield Beach with 11, and Stuart and West Palm Beach with 10 each; Miramar has 9. The city counts are not adjusted for corporate headquarters registrations, and the data does not identify any HQ-skew cities.

South Florida’s large RBT pool alongside a smaller BCBA group suggests that sustaining ABA access will depend not only on direct-care workforce growth, but also on maintaining enough supervisors to support it.
