Certified Rehabilitation Counselor (CRC) is a national certification, not a South Dakota license. How a South Dakota court weighs it is decided case by case under the forum's expert rules; this page covers the credential's scope, the South Dakota venues where a plan is examined, and our planners who hold it and serve South Dakota.
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.
South Dakota civil claims are tried in the Circuit Courts. Workers' compensation disputes are heard by the Department of Labor and Regulation's Division of Labor and Management.
Outside the civil courts, the South Dakota Department of Labor and Regulation, Division of Labor and Management is the forum where a plan is most often examined in South Dakota. KW Life Care Planning CRC-credentialed experts apply nationally recognized standards while accounting for South Dakota's practice environment.
CRC-credentialed experts provide testimony in South Dakota's courts, where expert qualification is determined case by case.
Highest court: South Dakota Supreme Court. Federal venues: D.S.D..

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.
