A Joyous Young Lady

Meet Lily, a joyous young lady who eagerly awaits the UCP bus every morning at 8 am. Lily has Down Syndrome, but she believes it’s just an accessory to her bubbly personality. She loves singing and dancing, especially when performing for her friends at the Day program for adults (DTA). Lily’s goal is to become an actress, and she is immensely grateful to UCP for the tremendous help they have provided on her journey to independence. Through UCP, Lily has learned to communicate not only with her voice but also through sign language. This newfound ability has allowed her to express herself more accurately and build meaningful relationships.
