About This Course

Most educators will tell you that ADHD affects almost all of their students. The truth is far from it, but in the prison system, ADHD affects nearly 50% of inmates, often presenting with other mental health impairments such as learning disabilities and developmental delays. The impact on the prison system, from longer stays to higher costs in services, are astronomical and severely taxes the system as a whole. This CLE course will present the common symptoms and manifestations of the disorder as well as its impact on criminal and anti-social behavior, substance abuse, and addiction. The course will present strategies for effective representation of defendants with mental health issues including when and how to pursue treatment-based outcomes and the legal issues that arise when educational law and criminal procedure overlap. Disciplinary proceedings, manifestation determination, and constitutional issues in the arrest and imprisonment of school-age children and children with special needs as well as obtaining access to school records will be presented.
