United Cerebral Palsy of Georgia was founded in 1965 by a group of concerned citizens seeking to establish community based supports to address the needs of children and adults with cerebral palsy.Since that time, UCP of Georgia has grown into a comprehensive service organization offering a wide range of supports for people living with many intellectual and developmental disabilities, including cerebral palsy, autism spectrum disorder, Down syndrome, spina bifida, traumatic brain injury, physical and intellectual disabilities and more.Today, UCP serves over 500 individuals and families daily, offering customized supports designed to enable individuals to maximize their potential, and discover talents and skills to achieve personal goals.Our guiding philosophy is to promote the physical and emotional well-being of the people we serve; to encourage them to explore their aspirations and dreams, and support their life choices; to help them become fully participating and valued members of their communities; and to offer them ongoing support as they continue a lifelong journey of personal development and growth.
