Our Mission: UCP of Central Arizona works to advance the independence, productivity and full citizenship of people with disabilities.

Our Vision: To be an organization that serves its consumers in unique ways, maintains a reputation for quality and responsibility, and creates a unique environment for its employees.

At UCP of Central Arizona (UCP), we are committed to advancing the independence, productivity and full citizenship of people with all types of disabilities.

Since 1952, UCP of Central Arizona has served as a private, non-profit health and human service organization for adults and children with disabilities and their families. As part of one of the nation’s largest health charities, UCP Association, the Central Arizona affiliate serves more than 2,200 families each year.We value the importance of each person that we have the opportunity to serve, and we recognize that each individual’s needs and desires are unique. Sometimes measured in wide strides, sometimes in small feats -- either way, achievement is just as magnificent. Quality of life is invaluable, true bliss is irreplaceable --and life’s journey, although different for each of us, is a continuous opportunity to create new possibilities.

Our specialty is the provision of a care-based approach for those with various disabilities. The care offered doesn’t just come from medical science, research or what our caretakers, therapists and other program staff members have learned in an academic setting. The care comes from the most important source – the heart.We are amazed every day with demonstrations of the strength of the human spirit. We continue to prove that with proper understanding, loving support and commitment -- and many people working as one, the possibilities are endless.

Together, we can continue to provide comprehensive services to individuals with various disabilities, including Cerebral Palsy, Autism, Down syndrome, developmental delays, and learning disabilities.As a civic leader, a caregiver, a direct consumer, a relative, or simply a giving individual who wants to be involved – we welcome you to UCP of Central Arizona.
