Colorado recorded 351 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update, representing 3% of the national weekly total. The file reports 200 providers added this week and 221 this year. That concentration signals meaningful registry activity in the state, but NPI records are not a measure of verified hiring, staffing levels or available appointments.

ABA workforce mix

The credential summary lists 17 BCBAs and 69 RBTs, plus 4 providers with dual BCBA-RBT credentials. These categories overlap: dual-credential providers may be represented in both credential counts, so the figures are not mutually exclusive. The RBT count is about four times the BCBA count, a technician-heavy mix that may support direct service growth but leaves a smaller pool for supervision. BCBAs oversee RBTs and clinical programming, so this relationship highlights why supervisory capacity matters as the workforce expands. The registry also includes many providers in other behavioral health roles, making the overall total broader than the ABA workforce alone.

Demographics and organizations

Women account for 197 providers, or 74%; men account for 48, or 18%; and nonbinary providers account for 20, or 8%. These figures describe the listed workforce and do not indicate clinical role or ABA credential. Several organizations appear repeatedly: Kaiser Foundation Health Plan of Colorado has 17 records, Everside Health has 10, and Rocky Mountain Planned Parenthood has 7. Repeated records can reflect locations or registry entries, not necessarily separate employers or ABA capacity. Colorado Springs, Denver, Fort Collins, Aurora and Longmont lead the listed cities.

Overall, the update points to broad behavioral health activity and a larger technician than BCBA pool, making continued BCBA recruitment important to sustain supervised ABA access.
