Phoenix recorded 32 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update, representing 0% of the national weekly total. The registry lists 16 new providers this week and 18 new providers this year. Records include 20 individuals and 12 organizations. The city’s reported count shows meaningful local registry activity, although the zero-percent share indicates Phoenix represents a very small portion of the national weekly total. NPI records do not confirm whether providers are actively practicing, accepting patients, staffing a site or offering ABA services.
ABA Credential Mix
The update identifies 4 BCBA providers and 10 RBT providers. No providers are listed with both BCBA and RBT credentials, so there is no dual-credential overlap in these counts. The larger RBT group points to more reported direct-care capacity than supervisory capacity. For ABA operators, that pattern can make BCBA availability a constraint on caseload growth, technician supervision and expansion. The credential counts should not be treated as a complete workforce census: records also include LAC, LMSW, LBA, master’s-level and occupational-therapy credentials, and five providers have multiple taxonomies. These categories overlap and are not mutually exclusive.
Workforce Demographics
Women account for 17 providers, or 85% of the reported workforce. Men account for three providers, or 15%, while no nonbinary providers are reported. Jewish Family & Children’s Service appears four times among notable organizations, indicating repeated NPI records for the same organization rather than four distinct employers. Phoenix’s combination of new registry activity, a larger RBT cohort and a smaller BCBA group suggests that improving ABA access may depend on expanding local supervisory capacity alongside direct-care staffing.
