Law enforcement and adult protective services personnel are frequently tasked with interacting with, communicating with, and investigating crimes against some of society’s most vulnerable victims. The vulnerability of these people often comes from their disabilities; they may be non‐verbal, intellectually disabled, or diagnosed with dementia.
No matter what people’s challenges are, unless they are comatose, they have some ability to communicate. It is our responsibility to determine how our victims communicate and document their abilities to try to bring them justice.
Specific communication tools will be presented to aid investigators and attorneys with gathering information from at‐risk persons along with guidance on how best to use the information to help prove a case.

More and more crimes committed against elder and developmentally disabled persons are being overlooked because investigators simply haven’t been trained on what to look for or what questions to ask.
This presentation will provide valuable information into the intricacies of death investigations of elder and dependent adults both in facilities and private resident care situations. We will explore specific records and unique evidence to gather to strengthen and prove cases. The goal is to allow investigators to stop relying on statements solely from caregivers, who many times are the suspects in what are actually cases of neglect or homicide. This knowledge will lead to more confident and complete death investigations.

No matter what people’s challenges are, unless they are comatose, they have some ability to communicate. When people have disabilities that make communication difficult, we must work that much harder to understand them and open a line of communication. This course will offer overviews of varying disabilities and discuss tools and strategies to open the paths of communication to ensure everyone has meaningful integration into society.
We are happy to work with your organization to customize trainings for interacting with people with disabilities that will be applicable and pertinent for your employees.
