Rehabilitation readiness refers to an individual's

Rehabilitation readiness assesses an individual’s preparedness to engage in the process of setting and pursuing recovery-oriented goals. The CPRP Exam Blueprint (Domain IV: Assessment, Planning, and Outcomes) defines readiness as the individual’s desire and motivation to set goals, reflecting their hope, confidence, and commitment to change (Task IV.A.2: "Assess individual’s stage of change and readiness for goal-setting"). Option A (desire to set a goal) aligns with this, as readiness focuses on the individual’s willingness to identify and work toward specific objectives, such as employment or education, often evaluated through tools like the Stages of Change model.

Option B (specific skill set) relates to functional assessment, not readiness. Option C (ability to reach a goal) focuses on outcomes, not the initial motivation. Option D (functional capacity) assesses skills and deficits, not motivational readiness. The PRA Study Guide emphasizes desire as the core of rehabilitation readiness, supporting Option A.
