United Cerebral Palsy of West Central Wisconsin (UCP) is a nonprofit organization that advocates for the independence, productivity and citizenship of people with disabilities and supports their full inclusion in all aspects of life and the community. This is accomplished through the provision of an array of programs and services that support and encourage independence and inclusion for children and adults with neurodevelopment disabilities, as well as programs to support children, adults and families that contend with these disabilities on a daily basis.
