SERVICES:

NEW DIAGNOSIS SUPPORT
Did your child recently receive a diagnosis of cerebral palsy? Give us a call at 503-777-4166 x332, or email us (below)! ​We'll send you a packet of useful information, including a book all about cerebral palsy. We can also refer you to medical practitioners and vendors.

You'll also get a sense of community and hope. We'll connect you to other families, an equipment exchange, and a chat group.

ONLINE Support Groups
Our parent & family support group is held online the second Thursday of every month. You'll have the chance to meet other families, brainstorm, share successes, and get emotional support.

ONLINE CLASSES
We're excited to announce a new series of online classes, held in lieu of the postponed 2020 Conference. 

Fun Outings
NOTE: CURRENTLY CANCELLED DUE TO COVID-19.

​Outings are a great chance to hang out with other families who experience CP. Past events have included a summer picnic, a day at the zoo, swimming, skating, etc.

"Respitality"
NOTE: CURRENTLY ON HIATUS DUE TO COVID-19.

​If you need a break from caregiving for a child who experiences cerebral palsy, UCP Oregon's "Respitality" services might be just the thing for you.

You can get a free overnight stay at one of our participating hotels. If you need to take a shorter break, we can provide you with a gift certificate to a restaurant, spa, movie theater, etc.

We can also provide an offset towards the cost of childcare.

Conference
NOTE: CURRENTLY POSTPONED DUE TO COVID-19.

​We offer a multi-day conference every two years, designed especially for families who are raising kids with cerebral palsy. You'll get the chance to learn from other parents, other adults and kids who experience disabilities, medical professionals, and disability-related vendors.

​As one attendee wrote, ​“I have learned more about CP within this conference than I have since my son was born.  I can’t WAIT for the next conference!”
