Project Title

Intercept-Related Interventions for Inclusion and Systemic Change

Project Description

Assist with the establishment of intercept-related interventions for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities who become involved in the criminal justice system. Work to bring an end to practices, policies, or laws that                                                            are deemed to be ineffective. Help communities employ alternative solutions and strategies to prevent entry into the                                                                criminal justice system and utilize collaborative methods to divert individuals away from criminal activities.
