We Are More Than Our Name

Throughout our 70-year history of serving people with Cerebral Palsy (CP), we’ve acquired the knowledge and skills to support adults and children with a wide range of disabilities, not just CP. UCP’s programs for people with disabilities in Eastern Connecticut are designed to help increase independence at work, in school, and at home. Every day, we offer programs for people with disabilities in CT to help them develop employment skills, find accessible housing, and access assistive technology.
