ABA Credential Breakdown
Focusing on Applied Behavior Analysis, the data shows 18 providers with an RBT taxonomy, indicating a strong influx of direct care professionals. There are also 2 providers with a BCBA taxonomy, one individual and one organization, which are crucial for supervision. The absence of dual BCBA+RBT credentials among these new registrants suggests they are primarily entering specific roles rather than progressing through credentials simultaneously. Additionally, 2 providers are identified with an LCSW credential, indicating a broader behavioral health scope beyond ABA. Two providers also hold multiple taxonomies, suggesting diverse service offerings.
Workforce Demographics
The individual workforce in Tampa is notably female-dominated, with 19 female providers accounting for 90% of individual registrants, while 2 male providers make up the remaining 10%. No specific organizations appeared multiple times in this week's update. This week's data points to a significant expansion of direct care capacity in Tampa, driven primarily by new RBTs, which is essential for meeting the growing demand for ABA services in the region.
