Motion for Disability Accommodations

This motion argues that courts must provide reasonable accommodations under the ADA and due process principles to ensure defendants with disabilities can meaningfully participate in their defense. It explains that court proceedings are protected services under Title II and that failure to accommodate—such as denying additional time, communication support, or assistive technology—can render a defendant effectively absent from trial. Relying on Tennessee v. Lane and related authority, the motion provides a framework for securing accommodations necessary during court proceedings for clients with disabilities.
