As someone who has taught special education for over 20 years, I have come across various residential and day programs similar to the programs implemented United Cerebral Palsy of South Carolina. Only United Cerebral Palsy of South Carolina promotes a personal, goal achievement approach for each client The day center allows a creative and recreational alternative to the typical "workshop" environments seen in other day programs for adults with disabilities. I applaud these efforts and can tell that this organization is very concerned with the overall well being of its clients.

Though I do not have any family or friends who use the services at United Cerebral Palsy of South Carolina, I have recently attended many of their social fundraising events at various restaurants. Through these social outings I have met compassionate UCP staff, family members of the people served, and the consumers themselves. At these events I have seen the “individual focused” environment of everyone in the organization and the ability of the staff to work together to provide the best possible experiences for the people served. As an outsider, I was unaware of the organization before and now have become a donor myself.

I am a student at the University of South Carolina and have volunteered with United Cerebral Palsy this semester. I have had the opportunity to work with clients with disabilities in the day center, where each class is taught by a staff member. The faculty and staff at UCP are very knowledgeable of their clients' health and behavioral problems and are always extremely willing to help others.

I am a student volunteer for United Cerebral Palsy and work with the people with disabilities served at the day center. The staff is always friendly and knowledgeable about the people they work with. I have been able to do cool activities with the people like playing them on XBox Connect or throwing balls around outside. I really enjoy my time spent there.

My son has been in a UCP training home for 5 plus years. The staff there gives him good care and attention. He is very happy living there with his roommates. I would highly recommend UCP of SC to anyone who needed their services.

I have volunteered a few times at United Cerebral Palsy this semester, and have taken other students with me (I'm a student at USC). Each time we've come the staff have been very warm and professional, and done everything to make us feel as comfortable as possible while interacting with their clients. Though we've only been for two hours each time, the staff truly seem to care about the clients in their interactions with them; the setup of their day center also allows new volunteers to come in and feel comfortable helping out.

I am a student at the University of South Carolina and I have had several opportunities this year to participate in endeavors at United Cerebral Palsy of South Carolina. When I am there to volunteer, I always enjoy spending time with the people served. During the day services at their center, the people with disabilities are able to work on what is most important to each person's growth. I have spent time doing yoga, working on card making, and also playing "hot potato" with the people served there. The staff is genuinely friendly and caring about the people they serve.

I have witnessed first hand the great growth in services of this organization over many years. The agency carefully plans individualized services for each person served. They are a trail blazer in services to people with developmental disabilities in the state!

I am the employer an adult served by this organization. I have seen this adult thrive over the past few years as she has grown with her house roommates and staff. She has one particular staff member that she is very fond of and I can see her eyes light up every time this staff member picks her up at the end of her shift. I know that truly she must be developing meaningful relationships there.
