Vocational Rehabilitation Assessment is the systematic process of collecting information and data through vocational counseling interviews, records review, and test administration, as well as labor market and community research. Assessments are utilized to determine objective and relevant conclusions regarding individuals' transferable skills, labor market access, wage earning capacity, and overall rehabilitation needs.

A Life Care Plan is a comprehensive document which outlines current and future medical, rehabilitative, and care needs, as well as their associated costs. Life Care Plans are often very beneficial in assessing and planning for individuals who require long-term treatment and care associated with severe and/or chronic health conditions, functional impairments, and disabling conditions.

LCP reviews are objective and impartial evaluations of Life Care Plans prepared by other LCP professionals.
