Connecticut recorded 87 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update, representing 1% of the national weekly total. That share indicates a limited portion of reported national activity, though registry entries are not a measure of hiring, staffing levels or appointment availability. The state’s records include 43 providers added this week and 52 added this year; 73 are individuals and 14 are organizations.
ABA Workforce Mix
The credential summary lists 9 BCBAs and 11 RBTs, with no providers recorded as holding dual BCBA-RBT credentials. The summary also lists one BCBA, LBA credential. Credential and taxonomy classifications may overlap, so they should not be treated as mutually exclusive portions of the provider total. The RBT count is slightly higher than the BCBA count, but the relatively small listed numbers point to a modest registry footprint for both roles. Because BCBAs supervise RBTs, technician counts alone cannot establish service capacity; supervision availability is central to turning direct-care workforce into ABA access. The data reports 16 providers with multiple taxonomies, another reason classifications may overlap.
Demographics and Organizations
Women account for 58 providers, or 79%; men account for 14, or 19%; and nonbinary providers account for 1, or 1%. These figures cover the provider population overall, not ABA practitioners alone. The update identifies no notable organizations appearing multiple times. Windsor, Norwalk, Waterbury, Hartford and Manchester are the leading listed cities, suggesting activity across several communities rather than a single listed hub.
Connecticut’s registry snapshot shows more RBT than BCBA records, making adequate BCBA supervision an important consideration as the state works to sustain or expand ABA access.
