Abstrakt:	Wood and colleagues effectively argue that Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act applies to securing accommodations for persons with intellectual/disability disorder so that such persons can meaningfully participate in the criminal adjudicative process. This invited commentary further discusses the challenges in identifying, assisting, and fully accommodating persons with intellectual/disability disorder in the criminal justice system. It also highlights ongoing problems with stereotypes within this population, which may affect the outcome of criminal proceedings. This commentary argues that persons with intellectual/disability disorder will likely continue to be treated unequally in the criminal justice system until better supports, treatments, and services are provided in community settings because treatment and placement options are often closely linked with case disposition.
