South Florida accounts for 279 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update, or 3% of the national weekly total. The registry lists 112 new this week and 133 new this year; records include 223 individuals and 56 organizations. That concentration points to a substantial behavioral health provider presence, but an NPI listing does not establish that someone is currently practicing, accepting patients or delivering ABA services.

ABA Credential Mix

The credential data list 62 BCBAs and 124 RBTs, with 15 dual credentials. Those dual-credential providers are included in both BCBA and RBT counts, so the groups overlap and are not separate workforce shares. The RBT count is twice the BCBA count, suggesting a larger listed direct-care workforce than supervisory pool. In ABA, RBTs work under BCBA supervision, so this imbalance can make supervisory capacity a constraint as service teams grow. The dual-credential group may reflect career progression, though registry data do not show current job duties. The update also reports 78 providers with multiple taxonomies, another reason not to add overlapping categories as if they were distinct people.

Workforce and Geography

Women account for 172 providers (77%), men 47 (21%), and nonbinary providers 4 (2%). Project Access Foundation Inc. appears three times among notable organizations; Safes Future LLC appears twice. Miami leads the listed cities with 90 providers, followed by Hialeah with 24. Homestead and Stuart each have 16, while Pembroke Pines has 10. No corporate-headquarters registration skew is flagged in the supplied data. Taken together, the registry suggests broad provider activity but a need to build BCBA supervisory capacity alongside the region’s larger RBT workforce to support ABA access.
