United Cerebral Palsy (UCP) Heartland was founded in 1953 by a group of concerned parents and volunteers, who wanted to provide a higher quality of life for family members and friends living with disabilities. The primary focus during the early stages of the organization was to provide support to families and provide leisure services to children and adults with cerebral palsy. Over the years, due to changing needs within the community, we expanded our focus to serve people with a spectrum of disabilities including autism, Down syndrome, traumatic brain injury and other intellectual and developmental disabilities.
We have grown to meet the needs of individuals with disabilities in a changing world. In 2008, UCP acquired another nonprofit agency, expanding our service geography to include Columbia and Jefferson City, Missouri.
Today, our services include: Adult Day Services, Camps for school aged children, Early Childhood Programs, Employment Resources, Family Navigator, Residential Services, Respite
We are proud of our reputation to serve the most vulnerable. People living with disabilities are living longer today than in 1953. We are committed to provide the supports necessary for a successful, happy meaningful life to our clients, their families and their surrounding community. As our founders had hoped, UCP continues to change the way the world sees people with disabilities. Our communities become rich with diversity as we incorporate our clients into every facet of society.
