Delaware registered 20 total behavioral health providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update, with 8 new additions this week. This represents a small fraction of the national weekly total, indicating a developing or specialized market for behavioral health services within the state.
ABA Workforce Composition
Within the applied behavior analysis (ABA) sector, the data shows 2 BCBA credentials and 1 RBT credential. No individuals were registered with dual BCBA and RBT credentials in this update. This ratio of two BCBAs to one RBT is atypical, suggesting either a very high capacity for supervision relative to direct service providers, or a particularly limited RBT workforce. Beyond ABA, the registry also includes other behavioral health professionals such as Speech-Language Pathologists, Clinical Social Workers, and Mental Health Counselors, reflecting a broader mix of services available.
Provider Demographics and Organizational Presence
Of the 14 individual providers registered, 93% are female and 7% are male, a gender distribution consistent with broader trends in the behavioral health field. While no specific organizations were flagged as "notable" in the aggregate data, Powerback Rehabilitation LLC and WSSH Powerback Rehabilitation Services, LLC, both operating in Hockessin, appeared in the registrations with Speech-Language Pathologist taxonomies, indicating a presence of related entities in the state.
The limited number of ABA-specific credentials suggests that access to applied behavior analysis services in Delaware may still be nascent, highlighting potential areas for workforce growth and increased service availability to meet demand.
