LegalAccess: Access to Legal Rights and System Navigation

Advancing legal protections through advocacy & impact-driven partnerships

Why This Matters:

  • Neurodivergent adults are less likely to pursue legal recourse due to emotional & structural barriers

  • Legal systems often reinforce re-traumatization

  • Disproportionate representation of neurodivergent individuals in the criminal justice system and situations of homelessness 

LegalAccess Program Components:

  • Policy analysis + law clinic advisories

  • Precedent-based case frameworks

  • Rights education tools (“Know Your Rights”)

  • Partnerships with legal academics & advocates to create neurodivergent-affirming approaches to mediation and legal support

Call to Action: Legal advisors • Human rights orgs • University clinics • Sponsor justice reform
