In addition, UCP of Central Arizona holds our member’s protected health information with the utmost importance. Each employee must complete a UCP-specific HIPAA training and quiz before starting work. Protecting each member’s privacy is a key part of quality care.

UCP offers  programs and services for children and adults with disabilities, including but not limited to; cerebral palsy, autism, down syndrome, sensory processing disorders, genetic disorders, orthopedic disabilities, torticollis, birth defects, effects of in-utero drug or alcohol exposure, head injuries, developmental delay and other diagnoses that affect development. We offer assessments and will evaluate your child to determine if UCP is the best place for his/her needs and can also offer referrals if we are not able to provide services.

At UCP we know the challenges families face when a family member has a disability.  Our goal is to alleviate some of those challenges by providing resources, education, training and social emotional support to the entire family.  We strive, particularly, to include siblings in our many celebrations, whether it’s a Santa breakfast, Thanksgiving feast, spring carnival, sweetheart dance or student art show.

• Our team has employment with a purpose. UCP’s services have a positive impact to local families and individuals with disabilities.
• We embrace our company values of Accountability , Commitment, Love and Compassion, Teamwork, Trust and Respect.

Our north Phoenix campus contains over 23,000 square feet of indoor space and 27,000 square feet of outdoor play area. The theme of the center was created around the Enchanted Forest that is truly timeless and it captures the essence of the environment we have, one of wonder, imagination, comfort and warmth.  The facility was designed in a way to be family and kid friendly rather than a sterile medical feel.
