Florida had 630 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update, representing 6% of the national weekly total. That concentration places the state among major centers of provider activity, though registry records do not confirm active employment, staffing levels or appointment availability. The update lists 282 providers added this week and 319 added this year, including 530 individuals and 100 organizations.

ABA credential mix

The credential summary lists 107 BCBAs and 281 RBTs, with 23 dual-credentialed providers. The dual BCBA-RBT group overlaps the BCBA and RBT counts, so these figures are not mutually exclusive and should not be added as separate workforce totals. The RBT count is about 2.6 times the BCBA count. That technician-heavy profile suggests a substantial direct-service workforce, but BCBAs remain essential to supervising RBTs and guiding treatment. The ratio is a broad indicator, not a measure of actual caseloads or supervisory capacity. The registry also reports 127 providers with multiple taxonomies, another source of overlap in its classifications.

Demographics and organizations

Women account for 442 listed providers, or 83%; men account for 81, or 15%; and nonbinary providers account for 7, or 1%. These figures cover the provider population, not ABA workers alone. Among organizations appearing multiple times in the notable-organizations field, Health Planning Council of Southwest Florida, Inc. and Behavioral Progression Inc. each have 3 records; three others have 2 each. Miami, Tampa, Orlando and Jacksonville are among the leading listed cities.

Florida’s registry activity points to a broad, RBT-heavy provider base, while sustained ABA access will depend on enough BCBA supervision to support direct-service staff across the state.
