Tampa recorded 60 providers in the latest CMS NPI registry weekly update, representing 1% of the national weekly total. The registry added 26 new providers this week and lists 29 new providers this year. Records include 53 individuals and 7 organizations, pointing to active provider-registration activity from both clinicians and business entities. The NPI count is not a direct measure of staffed locations, active caseloads or available appointments.
ABA Credential Mix
The update identifies 10 BCBA providers and 31 RBT providers. These categories are not necessarily mutually exclusive: 1 provider is listed with dual BCBA and RBT credentials and is counted in both credential totals. The much larger RBT group suggests a stronger base of direct-care personnel, while the smaller BCBA pool may constrain supervision capacity as clinics add technicians and seek to expand services. One dual credential is a limited but visible indicator of career progression from direct implementation toward behavior-analytic supervision. Other records include speech-language, counseling, psychology and social-work credentials, reinforcing that the registry captures a broader behavioral health workforce rather than ABA providers alone.
Workforce Demographics
Women account for 46 providers, or 87% of the reported workforce. Men account for 7 providers, or 13%, and no nonbinary providers were reported. The update names no notable organization appearing multiple times. Tampa has 8 providers with multiple taxonomies, so credential and taxonomy counts can overlap and should not be added as separate workforce segments. Overall, the update suggests Tampa’s ABA access is supported by substantial RBT registration activity, but sustained growth will depend on adding BCBA supervision capacity alongside direct-care staffing.
