Abstract:
Youth with disabilities are over-represented in school discipline and the juvenile legal system. Studies examining this over-representation often overlook the unique needs and behaviors of cognitively diverse girls. System-impacted cognitively diverse girls hold a range of unique needs and qualities and are deserving of individualized, culturally competent, and evidence-based care. This article presents the unique risk factors for girls impacted by the legal system in disaggregated summaries of the literature, and as illustrated by 2 case studies, to better understand the clinical needs of system-impacted girls.
