Developmental Disabilities Clinic/Center: how many are there, and how many are in private practice?

National totals

What this specialty covers

An entity, facility, or distinct part of a facility providing comprehensive, multidiscipline diagnostic, treatment, therapy, training, and counseling services to children with congenital disorders that precipitate developmental delays and in many instances mental deficiencies (e.g., Cerebral Palsy, metabolic disorders, Sturge-Weber Syndrome, etc.).

Reading the sole-proprietor share

For this specialty, 588 of 2,799 active records, or 21.0%, are flagged as sole proprietors. This NPPES field is self-reported and is an imperfect proxy for private practice because it does not by itself establish ownership, independence, staffing model, or whether a clinic operates as a single-person practice.

By state

New NPI registrations by year

Counts reflect the year each NPI was first issued, among records still active today. The final year is partial: this data covers through 2026-01-11.

Data notes

• The sole-proprietor field is self-reported by the provider in NPPES and is an imperfect proxy for private practice.
• A sole-proprietor count shown as <11 is suppressed: the true value is below 11, which could include zero.
• - These are active NPI records with this taxonomy as the primary classification, not necessarily unique organizations, locations, or service sites.
• - An NPI's enumeration year shows when it was first recorded, not when a clinic opened or began serving patients.
• Providers are counted once, by their primary taxonomy code only.
