UCP WHEELS FOR HUMANITY EXPANDS WITH NEW SOUTH FLORIDA OPERATION

Miami, FL (February 1, 2012) - United Cerebral Palsy of South Florida (UCP), a service provider and advocate for children and adults with a spectrum of disabilities, is proud to announce the expansion of The UCP Wheels for Humanity Program with a new affiliation, United Cerebral Palsy of South Florida Wheels for Humanity. Established in 1947, United Cerebral Palsy of South Florida has maintained an active and respected presence in the South Florida community.  It started when a group of parents came together to seek help for their children with cerebral palsy.  The only available option was to send their children to an institution, which the families did not want to do.  The parents founded their own organization and raised funds to provide therapeutic and vocational services for children with special needs.

Today, United Cerebral Palsy of South Florida offers comprehensive services every day throughout the year.  Services offered consist of early intervention, integrated preschool, after school care, speech, physical and occupational therapy, adult vocational workshop, supported employment program and residential facilities for children and adults with special needs and other disabilities.  From infants to senior citizens, children and adults participate in programs that will help them lead independent and meaningful lives.

Dr. Joseph Aniello, President & Chief Executive Officer of UCP of South Florida, said he is proud to start the international organization UCP South Florida Wheels for Humanity as part of the broader services he and his team provide.

"Too many people with disabilities in the world go without the most basic of resources to lead independent lives," said Dr. Aniello. "We believe this partnership with UCP Wheels will allow us to expand our efforts to those who need us most, and we're excited to do all we can to help those in developing nations get the wheelchairs they need."
