It would probably help us to know a little bit more specifically what types of disabilities that people have in the criminal justice system, but that's one example of how we're trying to get to the data so that we can know what kind of accommodations are needed. And the more we understand about the type of disability, the better we can pinpoint the accommodations and supports.

I think we often start with thinking through why they signed up for this job. And this is when you understand disability better, you do your job better. If you're really out to prosecute a case, then you need to understand within that case that this person has a disability. You've got to understand the facets of that. Who do you reach out to understand it? Who's there to support that help?

Whether it's someone prosecuting a case, someone defending a case, a law enforcement officer wanting to do their job well. The more you understand how to approach someone, the safer everyone can be. So we try to really posit it as, You want to do the job the best way you can. We want to help you do your job.

So we just want to share about why it's important to understand about disability so that everyone can walk away, so that everyone deserves justice. So why are people with disabilities any different? But the truth is they aren't getting it. And this is why we start there and give very basic examples of how injustices are happening. And a lot of times people just don't know. They don't know.

It remains invisible. I don't even want to think about the number of victims with IDD all over our country, all over our world, where it doesn't even come to the light of day. Where do you think that trauma goes? There's so much trauma out there that's just simply unaddressed.

Absolutely. I love that you said that because a lot of the work that we've been doing through the center has focused on some of the harder issues like sexual violence of people with IDD. And it's so hard to bring that message because people feel like, what can we do? Especially if someone doesn't use spoken language to communicate, right? How do they even report?

And we have a project right now funded through the Office of Violence Against Women that we're working on that very issue. So we always bring that there is hope. The problem is when people have to be silent and when we don't give people the tools to even advocate for themselves. That's been the problem.
