In this SIG 2 activity, participants explore the needs of people with aphasia and other
cognitive-communication impairments as they interact with the legal system. The first
article is a systematic review that reviews the historic accommodations that have been
made to support people with aphasia during court proceedings. Using these, the article
provides proactive recommendations for the support of people with aphasia who are
involved with legal proceedings. The second article discusses the etiologies and
prevalence of cognitive-communication disorders in people who are involved in the
criminal justice system. Recommendations are provided for SLPs to participate as a part
of the interdisciplinary team working with these youth and adults.
