UCP - A GREAT PLACE WITH A GREAT BUNCH OF PEOPLE!

Since 1952, United Cerebral Palsy (UCP) of Central Arizona has served as a private, non-profit organization helping children and adults with all types of disabilities.  Our innovative programs help over 1,700 children and adults each year with all types of disabilities, including cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, spina bifida and autism.

Our mission is to advance the independence, productivity and full citizenship of people with disabilities.

We are a dedicated team who understands disabilities and creates opportunities, and is committed to provide quality services, supports and education.  Through innovative, person-centered approaches, we improve and advance services and supports for individuals with disabilities, their families, and the community.  Our rewarding working environment is built on trust, integrity, dedication, professionalism, and teamwork.
