Abstract
A nationwide survey was conducted to assess life care plan implementation in a sample of 55 adults with spinal cord injuries (SCI) for those with or without a favorable settlement or verdict. Areas of inquiry included disability-related goods and services received following life care plan (LCP) development, differences in the purchasing of LCP items and services between those with and without adequate funding, and implementation differences based on demographic factors. Frequency data and chi-square analyses revealed differences in plan implementation for those who received funding to purchase some items in the life care plan when compared to those who did not receive funding. Findings shed further light and empirical validation of LCP implementation rates and items/services purchased by persons with SCI.
