DEAR FRIENDS

We are thrilled to share with you all of the remarkable progress, achievements, and contributions made by our UCP of Central Florida Team this year. As we reflect on our journey, it is with great pride that we take this time to highlight the strides made within our school community. From our first day of school to our success at our faces behind the miracles breakfast.

Within the 2023 Fiscal Year we have accomplished so much. We have celebrated monumental progress in some of our amazing students in academics, physical therapy, and speech therapy. With the help of our students, staff, family, donors, stakeholders, volunteers, and the many people responsible for helping build and expand our UCP Community, we can continue to be the best that we can be.

As we begin another year, we will continue to uphold our commitment to our community by remaining true to our mission of empowering our children to achieve their full potential.

Your continued support and involvement are vital to us as we strive for ongoing improvement and excellence. Thank you for your unwavering support, we cannot make these miracles happen without you.

Sincerely,

OUR MISSION

To empower children with and without disabilities to achieve their potential by providing individualized support, education, and therapy services in an inclusive environment.

OUR values

ETHICS & INTEGRITY

We are responsible for our clients, their families, our team members, our Board of Directors, and our community at large. We do not take professional or ethical shortcuts. Our interactions with all of our stakeholders must reflect the highest standards we profess.

ACCOUNTABILITY

Our ability to meet our responsibilities to the community depends on being fiscally responsible and efficient. We strive to optimize our operations by “working smarter not harder”

TEAMWORK

We recognize that the ability to excel and meet our clients and community’s needs depends on our ability to foster a diverse team. We strive to create an environment of mutual respect, encouragement, and teamwork; an environment that rewards commitments and performance and is responsive to the needs of our team members.

COMMUNITY OF LEARNERS

We strive to create a community of learners and we support team members in their growth and development. We provide opportunities to apply new knowledge and strive to utilize best practices at all times

PROGRAMS

EDUCATION

Our Education Program utilizes project-based learning, technology and art integration, and customized instruction. Our instruction is intended to be customized for each student.

UCP of Central Florida has re-imagined the elementary school experience by giving children with and without disabilities the opportunity to learn, grow, and play together at our inclusive campuses. With this re-imagined program we still maintain accountability and are SACS/ COGNIA accredited.

We strive in cultivating a culture that celebrates diversity and empowers children to find their strengths and talents.

SUPPORT THERAPY

Our team of therapists provides individualized Physical, Occupational, and Speech-Language Therapy to clients and students from birth to age 21.

Our therapy services are crucial to achieving a child’s optimal functionality according to their abilities.

We provide individualized support services for families navigating some of life’s biggest challenges. We believe that social and emotional health is vital in a child’s development.

Our team of social workers and clinical counselors work with families as they raise their children and create a strong foundation for a brighter future.

BETA TEEN PARENT

CONNECTION PROGRAM TRANSITIONAL LEARNING ACADEMY

UCP’s BETA Teen Parent & Connection Program is a unique program in our community supported by Orange County Public Schools. Adolescent mothers can be faced with the dilemma of raising a family at the expense of their education. The demands of motherhood, and social stigma among peers, make teen moms vulnerable to dropping out of school. Our program provides these young moms a community where they can finish their school education while their babies receive free childcare and developmental screenings all on the same campus.

Mothers also receive counseling services, parenting labs, and, college and career coaching. These services help young mothers transition into motherhood while creating a path to success for themselves and their children.

Our TLA Campus gives young adults with disabilities, delays, and IEP’s a traditional Middle, High School, and Post Graduate experience in an environment that is accessible, and tailored to their abilities.

TLA students have access to a standard Middle/High School Curriculum with customized instruction to fit their abilities and learning styles. We also offer job training, internship opportunities, and life skills for students transitioning into adulthood.

Inclusion

The premise that teaching students of all abilities in the same classroom creates meaningful, academic, social, and emotional growth. Some of the benefits of inclusion are listed below!

Leadership opportunities for students of all abilities based on individual strengths

Real-world model for learning based on collaboration through exchange of knowledge and talents

Cultivates essential interpersonal skills that students can carry into college and career

Celebrates diversity and destigmatizes disabilities
