April 1970

The Council of State Administrators of Vocational Rehabilitation passed a resolution urging state agencies to work toward the goal of requiring all organizations providing rehabilitation services to be accredited by CARF. This was one of the key developments in the history of the Commission.

  

November 1974

Goodwill Industries of America moved to terminate its longstanding and exemplary efforts in standards setting and accreditation and recognized CARF as the accrediting organization for all Goodwill organizations.

 

November 1980

The Association of Trial Lawyers of America adopted a resolution urging state workers' compensation agencies to require CARF accreditation for rehabilitation organizations serving workers with occupational disabilities.

January 1994

CARF reorganized its staffing pattern to emphasize three fields: Vocational and Employment/Developmental Disabilities, Medical Rehabilitation, and Alcohol and Other Drugs/Mental Health. For the first time a National Leadership Panel for each field was convened to assist CARF to proactively plan for and address current issues and trends impacting the provision of services to people with disabilities.


August 1995

The CARF Board of Trustees approved CARF's ongoing collaboration with the Professional Services Board of the American Speech-Language-Hearing

CARF Canada was incorporated in Edmonton, Alberta.

 

February 2003

CARF acquired the Continuing Care Accreditation Commission (CCAC). Founded in 1985, CCAC accredits aging services continuums, including continuing care retirement communities and other organizations. CCAC was founded by the American Association of Homes and Services for the Aging (AAHSA) in Washington, D.C.

The combination of two nonprofit accrediting organizations has created an independent resource that helps to identify high quality care providers -- from children's services to those for older adults.

 

December 2008

CARF International accreditation was recognized by the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care.

CARF Europe was incorporated in London, England, United Kingdom.
