A MOTHER’S DIARY 11.04.99 A few weeks ago I was approached by the nurse practitioner at work about a child that our organization was being asked to take. The little boy is in the hospital, needs to be in foster care, but no parents are able to take him. If he was to come to our facility, he would be more medically involved than the other kids, as well as the issue of a compromised immune system in a group setting. What he really needs is foster parents that could meet his complex needs. So I ask the nurse practitioner, “What is a foster parent and what would we need to know?” Then I had to take this home to my husband Scott. We have never discussed or even thought about adoption. And now we were contemplating becoming parents to a child we have never met, that we have been told will never walk or talk, that might not even make it past his second birthday. Where is God leading us? I am not sure, but I feel led to follow this path and support this child.
05.01.00 Devan came home with us today. Today will forever be etched in my mind. I think both Scott and I left the hospital wondering if we can really do this, a baby with IVs, feeding pumps and lots of meds. We came home to a house full of friends, family, social workers, nurses, equipment vendors and therapists. But I know that this will be our journey and our responsibility. Even though there was a room full of “professionals” in our house, no one had done this equipment before and we had to figure it out fast or he would have to go back to the hospital. Regardless, what a wonderful evening spent together once everyone left, just the three of us, Devan happy and smiling, IVs running. UCP OF GREATER CLEVELAND | 2013 ANNUAL REPORT

It is a privilege to serve as Board of Director’s Chair and President & CEO of UCP of Greater Cleveland and to spend time with donors, staff and the incredible families that make up the UCP of Greater Cleveland organization. Our commitment to our stakeholders guides us in continuing to maintain the balance of our mission with our fiscal responsibilities. It is also our greatest challenge. While we ensure long-term financial sustainability, we are inspired by the results of our work with so many individuals and families. Throughout this report, you will see our “numbers” in the form of numbers of clients served, goals achieved by children learning to crawl and walk, jobs obtained and kept and individuals living independently in the community. More importantly, you will see into their world through a series of brief diary entries by one of our families. Thank you to Julie McKinney for sharing a small part of their inspiring family story. 2013 was a year of growth for the agency. We served over 1,200 children and adults with developmental disabilities and their families through high quality therapies, employment services and residential supports provided through programming in Cuyahoga, Lorain and Lake Counties. In response to community needs, we expanded our Adult Day Support programming in Westlake and in Highland Hills. Project SEARCH, a transition program for young adults with disabilities graduating from high school into community-based work, expanded to a new site at the Cleveland Clinic. We are grateful to the Cleveland Clinic and the Cleveland Metropolitan School

UCP OF GREATER CLEVELAND | 2013 ANNUAL REPORT
District and are very excited about the opportunities this partnership will bring to these students. Making certain that adults with disabilities live and work in the most integrated community setting possible continues to be a priority for our agency. UCP of Greater Cleveland wholly supports Employment First initiatives in Northeast Ohio as an agency that always has and will continue to strive for community-based employment for adults with disabilities. All has been accomplished by our exceptional staff whose survey feedback led to our distinction as a Northeast Ohio Top Workplace by the Plain Dealer for the fourth consecutive year! We cannot ignore and must adjust to changes in the economy over the last several years. We must work harder to reach those who can benefit from our services while we streamline, wherever possible, internally. We can continue to serve our community only as a result of your support. Many donate dollars and services, participate in our fundraising events and/or volunteer on our Board of Directors. Thank you for your support in 2013 allowing us to continue to make a difference in the lives of those we serve. We look forward to partnering with all of the agency’s stakeholders in 2014 to make it a great year for our partners, clients and families. Gratefully,
Patricia S. Otter

SERVICES FOR CHILDREN UCP of Greater Cleveland provides comprehensive supports for children with disabilities and their families. Programs serve infants and children from birth through the age of 22 with a variety of developmental delays and disabilities including, but not limited to, cerebral palsy, autism spectrum disorder, Down syndrome and other genetic or neuro-muscular disorders. Therapy Services are team based and often involve two or more therapists, as well as social service professionals working together with the family to determine appropriate goals and developmental milestones for children to reach their fullest potential.
TRADITIONAL PHYSICAL, OCCUPATIONAL AND SPEECH/ LANGUAGE THERAPY 182 CHILDREN WITH DISABILITIES
Children’s Services provides physical, occupational and speech/language therapies to children from birth through young adulthood. Therapists create individual service plans based on the needs of the child and family. Physical therapy addresses gross motor skills such as rolling, crawling, standing and walking. Occupational therapy works on specific fine motor skills such as bathing, getting dressed, brushing teeth and feeding, in addition to addressing factors that may hinder a child’s ability to communicate, such as grasping a pencil. Speech/language therapy works to improve a child’s ability to communicate and to manipulate food and liquids.

STEPS TO INDEPENDENCE, INTENSIVE THERAPY
CASE MANAGEMENT FOR CHILDREN AND FAMILIES
Steps to Independence is a unique, intensive therapy approach that helps children with disabilities achieve a higher level of functioning. Developed with the philosophy that children with motor disorders, much like athletes, require rigorous stretching, strengthening and conditioning, the program uses a multidisciplinary approach to therapeutic intervention. Physical and occupational therapists work together to develop and execute an individualized program for each client, incorporating functional treatment goals, family involvement and continuity with traditional, on-going therapy programs.
Every child who participates in therapy at UCP is provided with comprehensive Case Management Services. A social service professional works directly with families to develop an Individual Service Plan, including determining the family’s resources, needs and concerns as they relate to their child’s development. UCP of Greater Cleveland case managers work with families to identify current and potential issues, as well as to provide assistance in problem solving and crisis management. Case managers and therapists may also attend medical appointments, funding meetings and/or school meetings to advocate for the child on behalf of the family.
83 CHILDREN WITH DISABILITIES
SCHOOL-BASED SERVICES 404 CHILDREN WITH DISABILITIES
UCP of Greater Cleveland partners with area school districts and complementary service providers to offer physical, occupational and speech/language therapy services, as well as assistive technology assessments, within the school setting. Agency therapists work as part of the Individual Education Plan (IEP), including goals, plan execution and evaluation and coordination of services within the educational environment to maximize each child’s ability to succeed in school.
191 FAMILIES
PARENT EDUCATION
127 PARENTS, GUARDIANS AND CAREGIVERS The Parent Education Program offers support services and educational modules for parents and caregivers to assist families as their children grow. Topics of sessions focus on treatment modalities, skills and coping mechanisms that will enhance child and family functioning.
07.12.04 So many of us have the joy of being parents but the joy experienced and the triumphs celebrated when raising a special needs child are just a little “special.” Our celebrations are a bit smaller and often much harder to obtain, but in my opinion bring some extra joy as well. I am sure most people remember their child’s first steps, how old they were, how cute, how proud. But for Devan that milestone hasn’t come until now. He is five and a half and has worked so very hard for this amazing feat. We have worked five days a week, three hours a day for more than two years to reach this milestone. We were told he would never walk. But today he walked. There he was walking across the driveway, one slow waddling step at a time, but on his own. The pride and joy I have for him for all of his hard work is so very strong!

SERVICES FOR ADULTS UCP of Greater Cleveland is dedicated to ensuring that adults with disabilities are able to live the highest quality, most productive lives possible while achieving maximum independence in the community. The agency’s approach of person-centered planning recognizes that every client is unique and has individual needs and preferences, and employees work directly with each individual and family to engage them in appropriate programming. Clients are involved in the development of their service plans and in decisions about the care they receive. UCP of Greater Cleveland offers two facets of programming for adults: Vocational Services and Residential Services. Vocational Services offers employment opportunities in the least restrictive environment possible, as well as Adult Day Support services and Assistive Technology assessments. Residential Services provides personal care and supports for adults with disabilities to live as independently as possible.
ADULT DAY SUPPORT
ORGANIZATIONAL EMPLOYMENT
The Adult Day Support Program is designed to assist individuals with multiple and severe disabilities to acquire, retain or improve their highest potential quality of life and development. Services are offered weekdays in a safe, comfortable and pleasant environment. Individuals are encouraged to accept new social challenges, while receiving support in areas such as mobility, self-help, activities of daily living, personal care, communication, community awareness and personal growth.
The Organizational Employment Program is designed to provide meaningful work opportunities for adults with moderate to severe disabilities. Individuals are employed in the agency’s on-site workshop completing a variety of work including bulk mailing, packaging and shredding. Client employees are able to earn a paycheck based on productivity while receiving the mobility, daily living and personal care support they require. The program also offers work skills training to develop new skills and improve individual productivity with the intent of transitioning clients to community-based employment whenever possible.
116 ADULTS WITH DISABILITIES

45 ADULTS WITH DISABILITIES
COMMUNITY EMPLOYMENT
INDEPENDENT LIVING
The Community Employment Program provides opportunities for individuals with disabilities to work in the community and contribute to their own personal financial well-being. The agency supports individuals through skill building, job-seeking skills training, travel training, job training, job development and placement assistance, coaching and follow-along support. Individuals are placed in the least restrictive work environment possible, based on employer needs and client preferences and can include both supported group employment and individual placement.
The Independent Living Program offers supported living services and health care support for adults with developmental and/or physical disabilities throughout Cuyahoga County. Based on the belief that adults with disabilities should have the opportunity to reside in the least restrictive setting possible, the program offers varying levels of assistance to individuals residing in a communitybased apartment or house of their choosing. Services are provided based on individual need, and can range from a few visits per week to 24-hour assistance. Clients may live alone, with a family member(s) or with a roommate(s).
PROJECT SEARCH
GROUP HOMES
108 ADULTS WITH DISABILITIES
65 YOUNG ADULTS WITH DISABILITIES Project SEARCH is based on a partnership between the education, business and vocational rehabilitation sectors, and was created as a unique, business led, one year school-to-work program that takes place entirely at the workplace. Total workplace immersion during the student’s final year of high school facilitates a seamless combination of classroom instruction, career exploration and on-the-job training. The program provides real-life work experience combined with training in employability and independent living skills to help youth with significant disabilities make successful transitions from school to productive adult life. UCP of Greater Cleveland is proud to be the vocational rehabilitation partner for Project SEARCH in Northeast Ohio.
61 ADULTS WITH DISABILITIES
16 ADULTS WITH DISABILITIES The agency operates two Intermediate Care Facility Group Homes, Edendale House and Memphis House. Each home is fully accessible and provides 24-hour care for up to eight adults with a wide range of developmental disabilities. Residents are encouraged to participate in outside activities including work, school, recreation, social activities and volunteerism to enhance self-reliance and decision-making capabilities. A team of trained direct care staff and professionals assists individuals with the ultimate goal of being as independent as possible while residing in the community.
03.30.14 Devan is very excited about starting high school next year, even if his mom is equally anxious. I remember his first pediatrician trying to give us realistic goals for Devan, and I understood. I worked with kids with special needs, and I understood the severity of their disabilities. But we have always approached Devan’s life by not setting limits on him. When his doctor said, “I never thought he could do that.” I always reply, “We DID.” We have been working with his teachers and administrators to determine the best course of study for him. Devan is looking forward to the options for electives next year in art, technology and public speaking. He has a lot of strengths we hope to use to find employment for him that he enjoys and will be successful at! He loves animals and remembers everyone he meets—those should be great assets for the work force.

SPECIAL EVENTS & VOLUNTEERS UCP of Greater Cleveland had a great year for special events and fundraising, continuing not only our tradition of the annual “Tee Up for UCP” Golf Tournament, Sprint into the Night fundraiser, and Team UCP at the Cleveland Triathlon, but we were proud to add a new event – the Race to Empower 5k and One Mile Fun Run. April 21, 2013 marked the highly successful inaugural Race to Empower 5k and One Mile Fun Run. The race started and ended at UCP of Greater Cleveland headquarters and passed along the edge of University Circle through the beautiful Cleveland Cultural Gardens. Highlights of the race included Mistress of Ceremonies Macie Jepson from NewsChannel 5 and Good Morning Cleveland, jugglers from Saint Ignatius Circus Company, a DJ, and food and drink booths. Many of the children served by UCP were at the race, either being pushed in jogging strollers by their parents or walking in the race. Everyone had the joy of watching children, who work so hard during therapy, walk and roll over the finish line hand-in-hand with their families and UCP therapists. The day was filled with big smiles from a well deserved sense of accomplishment.

UCP OF GREATER CLEVELAND | 2013 ANNUAL REPORT
The 27th Annual “Tee Up for UCP” Golf Tournament was again held on the championship breathtaking course at the elite Canterbury Golf Club. Although the weather was less than favorable, spirits were high and everyone enjoyed the day which included lunch, 18 holes of golf and a dinner reception. For the sixth year in a row, a group of committed volunteers held the Sprint into the Night fundraiser at Nighttown in Cleveland Heights. What started off as a small, family-run fundraiser for Team UCP at the Cleveland Triathlon has blossomed into a thriving event in its own right. The night consisted of live jazz music, a silent auction, raffles and a live auction. This festive event brought in a record breaking $45,000 in 2013.
The sixth annual Team UCP at the Cleveland Triathlon continued to be a great success. Twenty family teams participated with over 200 individual racers, displaying the true spirit of Team UCP. This event is also a testament to our wonderful group of volunteers, as the triathlon required the aid of over 130 UCP of Greater Cleveland volunteers for the event to run smoothly. Thank you to all of our families and supporters who planned and held small community events throughout the year—every dollar counts! The agency’s special events brought in a total of $241,069 to support valuable children and adult services. Thank you to everyone who not only attended our events, but also those who donated and worked behind the scenes to make it a successful year for UCP of Greater Cleveland and our clients.
08.05.13 I have to share an update on how the race went! What an amazing day! This was one of the most difficult physical and emotional challenges I have faced. It was grueling! But, in Team Devan spirit and with a huge, enthusiastic cheering section we finished. The swim was good. The bike was really difficult pulling Devan on the hilly course for 24 miles, which was a true test of endurance. But Team Devan pushed on. I was the last racer to finish the bike section, but I was determined to do the run and finish the race, especially after everything that Devan has been through this year with the surgery and casting. I wanted to complete what we had started! But it was going to be lonely out there, only a few runners still out there. So begins the most amazing part of the TRI! Team Tyler, who had already completed their Sprint triathlon, joined us on the course for the run. Dad, Chris, and his son, Tyler, in a special bike trailer just like Devan’s hung with me for the entire run. He provided much needed encouragement and emotional support! He made sure that even though we had to turn around early, so that they could open the road back up, we still got our 6.2 miles of running in. I can’t thank him enough for his support! This is why I do this race—this is the spirit that bonds all of the parents of children served by UCP of Greater Cleveland. We have walked in each other’s shoes, we know the struggles and the joys and together we all achieve more. Devan was able to stand at the finish line and take one step, the first in this new cast and then was carried by Scott the rest of the way. What a wonderful day, never so happy to be in last place! We didn’t quit, we finished and Devan was smiling!

11.04.13 I often say the waiting room at UCP of Greater Cleveland is our therapy (the parents)! We discuss Individual Education Plans, ankle and foot orthotics, wheelchairs and doctors like the rest of the world talks about the weather or politics. We support each other, share information, provide encouragement and pass on equipment—all without judgment, just a desire to help someone else who is dealing with the same issues we are. The donors who support UCP are truly incredible. Their generosity allows Devan to receive the therapy he needs and his therapist recommends without worrying about our ability to pay. After his surgery this past summer, he required much more intensive therapy than any of us thought. And he got what he needed and has made an amazing recovery, he is now walking pain free and is making great strides! UCP of Greater Cleveland would like to thank Julie for sharing a small piece of Devan and their family’s story. Each of the clients and families at UCP have unique challenges and successes, but all share a similar foundation of determination and compassion that drive them to reach the highest potential possible for themselves and their children.
