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, including Allegany County, Northern Anne Arundel County, Baltimore County, Caroline County, Carroll County, Cecil County, Dorchester County, Frederick County, Garrett County, Harford County, Howard County, Kent County, Queen Anne's County, Somerset County, Talbot County, Washington County, Wicomico County, and Worcester County. 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.
