Washington D.C. had 49 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update, listed as 0% of the national weekly total. The data also records 17 providers added this week and 23 this year. The reported share signals that D.C. represents a very small part of nationwide registry activity, though the rounded figure does not indicate an exact national count. NPI records reflect registry activity, not confirmed hiring, staffing levels or appointment availability.
ABA Workforce Mix
The credential summary lists 1 BCBA, 5 RBTs and 1 provider with both credentials. These counts overlap: the dual-credential provider is also represented in the BCBA and RBT counts, so the categories cannot be added as separate workers. The reported RBT-to-BCBA mix points to a limited listed supervisory pool relative to technician credentials. Because BCBAs supervise RBTs, that pattern makes supervisory capacity an important consideration for ABA service growth. The registry does not establish which providers are currently practicing ABA or available to take clients. The file also reports 19 providers with multiple taxonomies, another reason classifications should not be treated as distinct workforce groups.
Demographics and Organizations
The update lists 31 women, or 74%; 10 men, or 24%; and 1 nonbinary provider, or 2%. It includes 42 individuals and 7 organizations, all associated with Washington. No notable organizations were supplied, and no repeated organization was identified in the provider records. The 49-provider total includes a broad mix of behavioral health and related provider types, not only ABA professionals.
D.C.’s update suggests a small, varied provider base with few listed ABA supervisors, making BCBA capacity a key factor to watch when assessing potential access to ABA services.
