UCP Summer 2011 Newsletter

Summer 2011 Volume 21 • Number 1

Each year America celebratesits independence on the 4thof July. At United Cerebral

Palsy we’re celebrating independenceeach and every day for people withdevelopmental disabilities. The article inThe Record titled, “The Spirit ofIndependence,” described how KateDaugherty has become self-employedwith her business KLD Errand Service.Kate has been diagnosed with a disabili-ty, but she doesn’t let that stop her fromliving a life of independence. She cur-rently works for UCP utilizing ourSupported Employment Program in anAdult Day Program helping others withdisabilities. On the side, she has hervery own business helping people byrunning errands for them. She recentlyearned her full independence when shemoved out of her parent’s home. Thearticle quoted Kate as saying that hav-ing a job at UCP is what has set herfree, “I really can have my independ-ence.” See the full Record article on ourwebsite – www.ucpsj.org

Jose Garcia was the guest speaker atUCP’s Annual Crab Feed. UCP servesJose in our Supported Living Programand our Program Without Walls. Joseexpressed what happened to him theprevious year and how UCP fought toget him back on track: “My medicationswere off. I was having great difficultydoing anything. My behaviors werealienating me from many of my friendsand family. They didn’t have to, but

UCP worked with my doctor and myservice coordinator at VMRC to get meback on track. I don’t know what Iwould have done without them.”

Jose lives in an apartment by himselfwith the help of a UCP direct care pro-fessional. He is currently workingtoward his AA degree at Delta Collegeand hopes to pass his final exams thissummer to attain his goal. He likes togo to church, socialize at schoo,l and gohave a hamburger with his best friends,Steven and Jeorge. Jose is happy to saythat most of those broken relationshipshave now been mended. Jose is anotherexample of how UCP works with peo-ple to help them live lives with greaterindependence.

Independence changes people’s livesby instilling a sense of pride and confi-dence. UCP’s programs are designed tohelp people live to their greatest inde-pendence. The philosophy is that wewill do with, not for, the people weserve in order to promote that inde-pendence. Our goal is to work withthem daily to achieve their life goals andto help them integrate into our greatcommunity by attaining an education,and working and/or volunteering tohelp others.

Franklin D. Roosevelt once said,“We know that equality of individualability has never existed and never will,but we do insist that equality of oppor-tunity must be sought.” So providing

those opportunities is our mission. Wefind opportunities where our customerscan show what they can do, not whatthey can’t do. Help us to continue ourmission of providing independence forpeople with disabilities. Invest in UCP.

The Spirit of Independence!Our Mission: Since 1954 To enhance the quality of life for persons with disabilities and to enable them to become more productive, independent and integrated into the community.

CelebratingIndependence

When a group of dedicated community volunteers started anevening social for individuals with disabilities and their families,who could have foreseen the birth of what is now UnitedCerebral Palsy (UCP). More than a quarter of a century later, UCP serves over 1,700individuals (birth to end of life) with cerebral palsy and other disabilities, as well astheir families. Nearly 281,000 direct services hours are provided annually.

This issue of the cornUCoPia is a remarkable testament to the increasinginvolvement of community supporters, investors, volunteers, and staff in every aspectof UCP’s continuing development. Because of you, we celebrate the work of UCP, thevalues of its founders, and we celebrate each of our customer’s achievements to “LiveLife without Limits.”

Twelve programs are offered at UCP which provide a culture where customers aresurrounded by others who understand their differences and work together towardsgreater independence. Our year round programs span throughout San Joaquin,Calaveras & Amador Counties that include three Adult Day Activity andDevelopment Centers (2 located in Stockton and one in Manteca), ProgramWithoutWalls (a community integration program), Supports to Achieve Independent Living,Respite Care Services, Supported Employment, Challenge Riders (horseback ridingrecreational program), and early intervention and assistive technology services throughour Clinical & Family Services department (CFS). CFS recently received a grant fromRaising A Reader National to enhance its literacy program; “Supporting Children withSpecial Needs.”

To further expand our growth and meet the need, UCP Hammer Ranch Dayprogram has opened its newly expanded facility and will be able to serve an additional37 customers. Through a partnership with RTD, UCP now provides door to doortransportation for customers that attend our day programs.

Nearly 20 years ago, I walked into UnitedCerebral Palsy, a 12 year-old kid with only avague impression of what UCP is. It did not

take long for me to realize the amazing mission andimportant work the organization does with the community.Over the years, my role at UCP has changed from custodianto President of the Board. As I prepare to end my term asPresident, I reflect not on how my service may have helpedUCP, but how UCP has changed my life. Staff has become family, caring andreliable. Our customers have changed the perceptions of what people withdisabilities are capable of: Life without Limits. While staff, board members, andcustomers have changed over the years, one thing remains the same as it did when Ifirst walked through those doors: the mission. UCP’s mission to enhance the quali-ty of life for persons with disabilities is at the core of our service. It is the one con-stant that reminds us of how important our work is and how much we rely on thecommunity to continue supporting that mission. Our incoming President, DanPlatt, shares the same enthusiasm and devotion we all have for UCP. I wish himand our staff continued success. My final act as President is to re-commit to UCP’smission and focus my efforts on sharing my passion with those who have yet toexperience UCP’s magic.

United Cerebral Palsy’s earlyintervention program wasone of three programs in

the nation to be awarded a NewcombGrant from Raising A Reader. In 2006,UCP teamed with Raising A Reader toenhance their reading program withadaptations which make it easier forchildren with learning differences orspecial needs to engage in readingexperiences with their parents. Thispilot program was funded through agrant from First 5 San Joaquin. Aftershowing great success, Raising A Readermade grant dollars available for agenciesto adapt their book bag program tobetter suit the needs of young childrenwith special needs, insuring that thechild’s disability or learning style doesnot prevent them from experiencing thejoy of sharing a book. This funding willbe used to adapt more books, meetingthe specific needs of children served inUCP’s Early Intervention programs.UCP will present their adaptations atRaising A Readers NationalCoordinators Institute in October.

Raising A Reader is a nationalnonprofit organization helping localagencies provide research-based literacy

programs that encourage parents toengage their children in readingexperiences at an early age. ThroughRaising A Reader, service providersrotate a library of age- appropriatebooks into the home, helping parentscreate a language and literacy-richenvironment. Families are also encour-aged to make connections to their locallibrary to build lasting family literacyhabits. Raising A Reader has shownpositive outcomes in many areasincluding: child enjoyment of reading,improved language skills, emergentliteracy skills (comprehension, letternaming, rhyming, etc.), more books inthe home, increased frequency ofparent-child reading, and increased useof the library

Raising A Reader is also teamingwith UCP to develop a training moduleto be used with all Raising A Readeraffiliates. The focus of this module is topresent best practices in adapting andimplementing Raising A Reader for chil-dren with different abilities and needs.UCP will work with the otherNewcomb Award recipients to incorpo-rate their adaptations into this trainingmodule.
