Florida recorded 700 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update, equal to 7% of the national weekly total. The file reports 293 new providers this week and 348 this year; 570 are individuals and 130 are organizations. That concentration signals a substantial share of weekly registry activity, not necessarily new hires, active clinical capacity or available appointments.

ABA Workforce Mix

The credential summary lists 105 BCBAs and 300 RBTs, alongside 28 providers with dual BCBA-RBT credentials. These counts overlap: dual-credential providers are represented in the broader BCBA and RBT categories, so they should not be added as a separate group or treated as mutually exclusive shares. The RBT count is nearly three times the BCBA count, indicating a larger direct-service technician pool than supervisory pool. That imbalance makes BCBA recruitment and retention important as clinics seek to expand RBT-delivered services. The separate credential-text field reports 9 BCBAs and 30 RBTs, a reminder that registry fields can capture credentials differently and are not a workforce census.

Demographics and Organizations

Women account for 465 providers, or 82%; men account for 96, or 17%; and nonbinary providers account for 9, or 2%. The reported percentages are rounded. Operation PAR appears repeatedly in the notable-organization data: its two name variants have counts of 6 and 3, respectively. Project Access Foundation Inc. is listed with 3, while Lakeland Regional Health Systems and SAFES Future each have 2. These repeated records indicate organizational presence in the update, not necessarily separate employers or new clinic openings. Miami, Tampa, Orlando, Jacksonville and Hialeah are the top listed cities.

Florida’s update points to a broad RBT workforce but comparatively fewer BCBAs, making supervisory capacity a key consideration for sustaining ABA access as provider activity grows.
