Welcome to the United Cerebral Palsy Public Policy Action Center.

United Cerebral Palsy has partnered with The Arc of the United States to establish the Disability Policy Collaboration (DPC).  

The Disability Policy Collaboration promotes legislative and legal supports to improve the lives of individuals with disabilities and their families by interacting with lawmakers, administration officials, and community leaders.

From Education to Healthcare, from Housing to Employment, from Social Security to Medicare, from Assistive Technology to the Full Inclusion of people with disabilities in society, United Cerebral Palsy and the Disability Policy Collaboration are leading advocates for the disability community.

Please check out our active advocacy campaigns below, and sign up to our UCP Action Center to become a United Cerebral Palsy e-advocate.
