That's a great question. I'll answer that carefully because there have been some progress made in terms of just society having more of an understanding of developmental disabilities, a lot of that because of autism. Now you can turn on Netflix and see shows on autism. I mean, there's just more of a general awareness around disability in some ways.

But we still lack in really people understanding how that affects those in criminal justice situations, those who may be victims of crime. So in certain areas, I think people are still invisible. And that's why those accommodations are so important. And where we have also lacked is in research. And we know we have to have some research to drive change.

Recently, I was involved in a meeting in D.C. that put out a report funded by the National Institutes of Justice to start looking at a research agenda. poor people with IDD involved in the criminal justice system. So there are some ways that there is maybe some more funding to look at these issues. That's because of funding through the Department of Justice's Bureau of Justice Assistance.

That's what gave us the initial seed money to start the National Center on Criminal Justice and Disability. So there is some funding out there to do that. But there are still people with IDD who have been killed within... criminal justice system, whether it's through an encounter gone wrong with law enforcement or it's in our prisons and jails.

And then there's victims who are not getting their day in court. There's still a lot to be done, but there have been small incremental changes that have been positive.

And that's a great question. Let me back up and talk about when we first got the grant to start the National Center. One of the things we wanted to do is create training. And that is not the end all be all, but that's part of the solution. And this our training is called Pathways to Justice.

which is a one-day training for law enforcement, for attorneys and the legal professionals and victim service providers that brings the community together around this issue.
