West Virginia recorded 54 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update, representing 1% of the national weekly total. The file lists 31 new this week and 32 this year, with 46 individuals and 8 organizations. That small national share signals a limited footprint in this registry update, not a direct measure of the state’s workforce or access to care.
ABA Credential Mix
The credential summary lists 10 RBTs and no BCBAs or dual BCBA-RBT credentials. The listed RBTs, without a BCBA count in this summary, suggest that the update does not show a corresponding supervisory pool for ABA services. RBTs work under BCBA supervision, so the figures cannot establish how many technicians are actively practicing or how supervision is arranged. Taxonomy classifications and credential labels can overlap: the file reports 10 providers with multiple taxonomies, and those classifications are not separate, mutually exclusive workforce groups. The counts should be read as registry descriptors, not as a complete ABA staffing census.
Demographics and Organizations
The update reports 39 women (85%) and 7 men (15%); it lists no nonbinary providers. The provider records span cities including Wheeling, Charleston, Huntington, Mabscott and Beckley. No notable organizations were identified in the supplied data, and the records do not establish that any organization appears multiple times as a distinct employer. The file includes a mix of behavioral health, counseling, case management and other provider taxonomies, so not every listed provider is an ABA practitioner.
Overall, West Virginia’s update shows some RBT representation but no reported BCBA credentials, highlighting the importance of verifying local supervisory capacity when assessing prospects for ABA access.
