United Cerebral Palsy of West Central Wisconsin

United Cerebral Palsy of West Central Wisconsin has existed in the Chippewa Valley since the 1950’s. It is its own 501(c)(3) non-profit agency that has its own Board of Directors that governs the business of the agency at the local level.​

​Over 80% of the individuals that participate with UCP do not have a diagnosis of Cerebral Palsy, and range in ages as young as a couple months old to frail elderly. Our agency traditionally provides many disability populations with services, awareness, and resources. ​

​Over the years, UCP has been many things to many people and the agency continues to evolve to meet new community needs. We are not owned by a national office, but we are affiliated with one through our similar branding. We have our own budget and control our own operations separate from the national office or other UCP affiliates. 

Our Mission: Our mission is advocating for independence, productivity, and citizenship of people with disabilities, and supporting their full inclusion in all aspects of life and community. 

Our Vision: All persons in the community, regardless of ability or disability, have an equitable opportunity to fully participate in all facets of community life, in accordance with their personal needs and interests. ​United Cerebral Palsy of West Central Wisconsin will continue to strive to meet the ongoing and ever-changing needs of people with disabilities in the future. ​The hope is that the gap between those with disabilities and those who are “temporarily able” will continue to close so that all will be integrated into a single group of people with differing abilities. ​Until then, UCP will continue to be an active advocate and service provider for individuals with a variety of disabilities and their families.
