accused people who have speech and language disabilities to understand questions and to communicate answers effectively when communicating with police, legal or justice professionals. 

CIs work in a similar way to sign language interpreters or language translators, however, they use different techniques to support people who have communication disabilities due to cerebral palsy, autism, cognitive disabilities, acquired brain injury, learning disability, stroke, dementia, ALS, Parkinson’s Disease and other conditions.
