About UCP

Today, UCP of Central Maryland is a large, dynamic agency serving thousands of children and adults. The agency was founded in 1953 by a group of parents and concerned citizens who gathered to fight for the rights of children and adults with disabilities. These rights included education, employment, housing and the right to live a full life in the community. These dedicated individuals formed United Cerebral Palsy, an organization committed to advancing the independence of people with cerebral palsy and other disabilities.

UCP has a rich history of meeting the needs of individuals with disabilities. Today, United Cerebral Palsy has an operations budget of more than $21 million and provides thousands of hours of service to children and adults in Baltimore City and eighteen Maryland counties. UCP is committed to providing a wide variety of services to advance the independence, productivity and full citizenship of people with cerebral palsy and other disabilities.
