  • Cerebral Palsy is caused by damage to the developing brain, usually occurring before, during or shortly after birth.

  • Brain damage can also occur during infancy due to infection or trauma.

 

  • A person with cerebral palsy cannot fully control motor function (e.g., walking), and may also have an impairment of speech, balance, sight, hearing, or cognition.

  • Cerebral Palsy is not a disease, and not considered curable, however, education, therapy, and applied technology can help individuals with cerebral palsy lead active, independent and productive lives.


   

Locally, 96% of every dollar received is used to provide direct services; 4% for management, general office expense, and fundraising.

65% of children and adults receiving services through UCP have primary disabilities other than Cerebral Palsy.

All therapeutic programs and services are provided at no cost to the families of individuals with special needs.

Programs and services are available to all without regard to race, color, national origin, sex, or disability.
