Certified Rehabilitation Counselor (CRC) is a national certification, not a Rhode Island license. How a Rhode Island court weighs it is decided case by case under the forum's expert rules; this page covers the credential's scope, the Rhode Island venues where a plan is examined, and our planners who hold it and serve Rhode Island.
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.
Rhode Island civil claims are tried in the Superior Court. Workers' compensation claims are heard by the Workers' Compensation Court, a specialized court rather than an administrative board.
Outside the civil courts, the Rhode Island Workers' Compensation Court is the forum where a plan is most often examined in Rhode Island. KW Life Care Planning CRC-credentialed experts apply nationally recognized standards while accounting for Rhode Island's practice environment.
CRC-credentialed experts provide testimony in Rhode Island's courts, where expert qualification is determined case by case.
Highest court: Rhode Island Supreme Court. Federal venues: D.R.I..
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.
