Life care planning is a service offered by some rehabilitation consultants. However, few graduate rehabilitation counseling programs offer a course in life care planning. This article outlines the proposed content for a graduate level course in life care planning. The curriculum outlines the teaching content, resources, and teaching recommendations for 15 weeks of instruction. Relevant resources are included. “A Life Care Plan is a dynamic document based upon published standards of practice, comprehensive assessment, data analysis and research, which provides an organized concise plan for current and future needs with associated costs, for individuals who have experienced catastrophic injury or have chronic health care needs.”
