Orlando recorded 28 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update, representing 0% of the national weekly total. The registry added 14 new providers this week and 16 new providers this year. With 23 individuals and 5 organizations, the activity points to a small but active behavioral health market, with recent registrations contributing substantially to the city’s current provider base.
ABA Credential Mix
The registry lists 5 BCBA providers and 12 RBT providers, including 2 dual-credentialed providers holding both BCBA and RBT credentials. These categories overlap, so they should not be treated as separate, mutually exclusive groups. The resulting BCBA-to-RBT comparison is roughly 1:2.4, indicating a direct-care-heavy workforce and a relatively limited pool of potential supervisors. The data also shows 6 providers with multiple taxonomies, reflecting overlapping professional roles rather than distinct workforce segments.
Workforce Demographics
Among individual providers, 15 are female, representing 65%, while 8 are male, representing 35%. No providers are identified as nonbinary. The update does not identify any notable organization appearing multiple times, although the provider mix includes both individual clinicians and organizational entities across behavioral health taxonomies. The presence of mental health counselors, clinical social workers and care coordinators alongside ABA professionals suggests a broader behavioral health ecosystem rather than an ABA-only registry snapshot.
Orlando’s influx of new registrations, especially among RBTs, suggests expanding direct-care capacity while underscoring the need for additional BCBA supervision to support access as the local ABA workforce grows.
