As an affiliate of one of the nation’s largest health charities, United Cerebral Palsy of Michigan assists people with disabilities and their families through our service-based, individual-focused approach. We administer innovative programs that make a difference in the lives of the children and adults we serve, and in the communities they are a part of.
The Michigan Loan Funds
The Michigan Loan Funds are programs of United Cerebral Palsy of Michigan, which works in partnership with Option 1 Credit Union to provide loans for the purchase of needed technology or to reduce or eliminate barriers to employment . (more)

Assistive Technology
Assistive Technology, or AT, often plays a vital role in the lives of people with disabilities. But often when someone thinks of AT, they envision a product with a large price tag attached to it. But often that is not the case. (more)
Public Transportation Advocacy
UCP Michigan knows that people with disabilities face many barriers to transportation. We work to address these barriers and to eliminate as many as possible so that people with all disabilities can participate in their communities. (more)
Access to Faith Communities
People with disabilities want to be part of their communities. They want meaningful activities and social networks. They want to belong to community groups. But it isn’t always easy to get access to community life. (more)
