Family Support

When a child is diagnosed with a disability, the entire family is changed and must adapt. Parents and siblings often experience strong emotional responses that should be addressed in various constructive ways. UCP of Orange County has responded and adapted to family needs over the years, creating new programs to meet their ever-evolving challenges.

UCP-OC offers educational workshops to empower parents, caregivers, and disability services professionals with the latest information on a broad array of topics -- everything from IEP strategies, potty training, to transition services and recreational events. To view upcoming events, click here.
