Certified Rehabilitation Counselor (CRC) is a national certification, not a Louisiana license. How a Louisiana court weighs it is decided case by case under the forum's expert rules; this page covers the credential's scope, the Louisiana venues where a plan is examined, and our planners who hold it and serve Louisiana.
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.
Louisiana civil claims are tried in the parish District Courts, and medical malpractice claims against qualified providers go first to a medical review panel. Workers' compensation claims are heard by the Office of Workers' Compensation Administration.
Outside the civil courts, the Louisiana Office of Workers' Compensation Administration is the forum where a plan is most often examined in Louisiana. KW Life Care Planning CRC-credentialed experts apply nationally recognized standards while accounting for Louisiana's practice environment.
CRC-credentialed experts provide testimony in Louisiana's courts, where expert qualification is determined case by case.
Highest court: Louisiana Supreme Court. Federal venues: E.D. La., M.D. La., W.D. La..

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.
