The intensity and type of services provided is determined by the individual's needs and desire for assistance. Services may include home visits, assessments, adaptive toy and equipment loan, individual program plans, referral and advocacy for other services, and disability related workshops. Referrals may include linkage to therapies, respite, in-home supports, medical clinics, and special education advocacy groups. UCP may also assist with locating and referring to residential providers. It is our policy to offer in-home support when appropriate to enable children to remain with their families as long as possible.
All services are of no cost to the family.
