Mission Statement
The mission of UCP is to advance the independence, productivity, and full citizenship of people with disabilities.
Description
UCP works to affect positively the quality of life for persons with cerebral palsy and also others with severe disabilities and multiple service needs, and the families of both; and to prevent cerebral palsy and minimize its effects.
We believe that all people with disabilities have a fundamental right to the opportunity to participate in lifestyles that enable them to live in their own community; to receive an education that prepares them for employment, and the opportunity to live and grow within their family. We believe that our advocacy and service efforts must be truly family centered, rather than focused exclusively on the individual.
