Delaware recorded 27 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update, representing 0% of the national weekly total. The registry added 12 new providers this week and lists 15 added this year, including 20 individuals and 7 organizations. Delaware’s negligible national share signals a small registry footprint rather than a large wave of behavioral health expansion. NPI activity does not confirm active caseloads, staffing levels or appointment availability.
ABA Workforce Mix
The credential summary lists 3 BCBA credentials, 3 RBT credentials and 1 dual BCBA-RBT credential. These categories overlap: the dual credential is included in both the BCBA and RBT counts, so they are not mutually exclusive shares of Delaware’s 27 providers. The registry also includes 8 providers with multiple taxonomies, another indication that provider classifications can represent overlapping roles rather than separate workforce segments. A small BCBA pool relative to RBT representation suggests limited documented supervisory capacity, since BCBAs supervise RBTs and oversee treatment planning and clinical quality. The wider mix includes LCSWs, counselors, a speech-language pathologist and other behavioral health professionals.
Demographics and Organizations
Gender data identifies 17 female providers (85%), 2 male providers (10%) and 1 nonbinary provider (5%). The gender summary does not account for all 27 records, so these figures should not be read as a complete demographic profile. Newark, Wilmington, Dover, New Castle and Middletown are the listed leading cities, indicating activity across several population centers. No notable organization appears multiple times in the update; named ABA organizations include Hope Harbor Therapy and Above and Beyond ABA DE.
Delaware’s update suggests a small, geographically distributed ABA workforce with limited documented BCBA supervision capacity, a pattern that could constrain access as technician-level services grow.
