Charlotte recorded 41 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update, representing 0% of the national weekly total. The registry added 16 new providers this week and lists 24 new providers this year. Records include 36 individuals and 5 organizations, pointing to activity led primarily by individual clinicians rather than provider entities. The reported share signals that Charlotte represents a limited concentration of the national registry activity captured in this update, although NPI records do not establish active caseloads, staffed locations or appointment availability.
ABA Credential Mix
The update lists 2 BCBA providers and 6 RBT providers. No providers are identified with both BCBA and RBT credentials. These categories should not be treated as a complete or mutually exclusive workforce census: credential and taxonomy fields can differ, and 12 providers have multiple taxonomies. The RBT-to-BCBA pattern suggests a larger pool of potential direct-care staff than behavior-analytic supervisors. In ABA operations, that imbalance can constrain service growth because BCBAs are responsible for clinical oversight, treatment planning and RBT supervision. The registry count does not show whether the listed BCBAs are accepting cases or supervising locally.
Workforce Demographics
Women account for 29 providers, or 81% of the reported workforce. Men account for 7 providers, or 19%; no nonbinary providers were reported. The registry identifies no notable organization appearing multiple times, and all listed city records are in Charlotte. Beyond ABA, the update includes speech-language pathologists, counselors and clinical social workers, indicating a broader behavioral health ecosystem rather than an ABA-only market. Overall, Charlotte’s records suggest expanding provider activity but a relatively small BCBA base that may limit near-term ABA access unless supervisory capacity grows alongside RBT staffing.
