About UCP/NYC
United Cerebral Palsy of New York City, Inc. (UCP/NYC) is the leading nonprofit
agency in New York City providing direct services, technology and advocacy to
children and adults of all ages with cerebral palsy and related disabilities.
UCP/NYC was founded in 1946 by parents of children with cerebral palsy during an era
when no community or school-based services existed, and when institutionalization was one
of the few available options for their sons and daughters. Since then, the agency has been
at the forefront nationally in developing a comprehensive network of services for people with
disabilities and their families.
