Seattle recorded 41 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update, representing 0% of the national weekly total. The registry lists 22 new providers this week and 25 new providers this year. Records include 34 individuals and 7 organizations, indicating activity from both practitioners and provider entities. The reported concentration signals a localized but broad behavioral health presence, although NPI records do not establish whether a provider is actively practicing, accepting patients, staffing a site or offering ABA services.
ABA Credential Mix
The update identifies no BCBA providers and 8 RBT providers; no providers are listed with dual BCBA and RBT credentials. That produces no documented BCBA supervisory capacity in this registry snapshot, while the RBT records indicate some direct-care workforce participation. The absence of BCBA records does not prove that Seattle lacks practicing behavior analysts, because providers may use different NPI taxonomy or credential entries. The registry also reports 7 providers with multiple taxonomies. Credential and taxonomy categories overlap, so they should not be added together as separate, mutually exclusive workforce shares.
Workforce Demographics
Women account for 23 providers, or 68% of the reported workforce. Men account for 7 providers, or 21%, while 4 providers, or 12%, are listed as nonbinary. No notable organizations appearing multiple times were identified in the supplied data. Seattle’s active registry additions and RBT presence, paired with no recorded BCBA or dual-credential providers, suggest that ABA access may depend on identifying or expanding local supervisory capacity as direct-care staffing develops.
