A Los Angeles team uses neuropsychological evaluations to divert people with cognitive disabilities from prison to rehabilitation, reducing recidivism.
A Los Angeles County Public Defender team led by Noah Cox is working to reduce incarceration of people with undiagnosed cognitive disabilities, such as Fetal Alcohol Syndrome, Down Syndrome, or traumatic brain injury, by identifying impairments in communication, logic, and problem-solving.
The team uses neuropsychological evaluations and records to secure diversion programs instead of prison, as seen with Jimmy, a 56-year-old with a history of homelessness and repeated arrests, who was diagnosed and connected to long-term support services through California’s regional centers.
The initiative aims to break cycles of recidivism by prioritizing rehabilitation over punishment for those with cognitive challenges.
