Video: Executive Director Bob McGuire sums up UCPN's mission - helping people with disabilities grow.
Since 1948, the United Cerebral Palsy Association of Nassau County, Inc. (ucpn) has been assisting people with disabilities. Over these six decades of service, countless individuals have benefited from the programs and services offered by our agency. Children and adults have had the opportunity to travel the road from “disability to capability” and make strides towards their goals with the help of skilled and dedicated staff members and volunteers at ucpn. The families of these individuals have also benefited from the assistance and guidance provided by caring and knowledgeable staff members at ucpn. The advocacy efforts of consumers as well as staff and board members have advanced the cause of individuals with disabilities, and while there is still work to be done, right now in 2008, laws and regulations in place guarantee rights and entitlements that protect and insure the dignity and liberties of individuals who are challenged by disability.
On May 9th, the agency will host a grand celebration here at our headquarters building.
and all are welcome. More details will be available on the ucpn website at http://www.ucpn.org
