Certified Rehabilitation Counselor (CRC) is a national certification, not a Indiana license. How a Indiana court weighs it is decided case by case under the forum's expert rules; this page covers the credential's scope, the Indiana venues where a plan is examined, and our planners who hold it and serve Indiana.
The CRC is the national certification for rehabilitation counselors. In life care planning it is one of the qualifying credentials for CLCP certification and supports the plan's coverage of rehabilitation services, assistive technology, community reintegration, supported living, and the day-program and vocational services that adults with disabilities use across the life span.
Indiana civil claims are tried in the Circuit and Superior Courts, and medical malpractice claims are first reviewed by a medical review panel before suit. Workers' compensation claims are decided by the Worker's Compensation Board of Indiana.
Outside the civil courts, the Worker's Compensation Board of Indiana is the forum where a plan is most often examined in Indiana. KW Life Care Planning CRC-credentialed experts apply nationally recognized standards while accounting for Indiana's practice environment.
CRC-credentialed experts provide testimony in Indiana's courts, where expert qualification is determined case by case.
Highest court: Indiana Supreme Court. Federal venues: N.D. Ind., S.D. Ind..

The CRC is a national certification administered by CRCC. It is distinct from state licensure, though many states also license professional or rehabilitation counselors separately.
The CRC is one of the recognized entry credentials to CLCP certification, and its training in disability, rehabilitation services, and community resources supports the non-medical sections of a life care plan such as supported living, day programs, and assistive technology.
No single credential is mandated. Qualification is assessed case by case on education, training, and experience, and the CRC combined with life care planning certification is widely accepted.
Every five years, with documented continuing education meeting CRCC's requirements.
