Family-Focused: We appreciate the importance of the entire family in the life of a child.

All children grow and develop at their own pace and in their own way. Children with special needs experience delays in development that may limit their ability to learn, speak, or walk.

There are many different types of developmental disabilities. Many children have a combination of disabilities that may make learning or other activities more difficult.

We Focus on Similarities

Children with special needs are more like other children than different from them. All children have a need for love, acceptance, friends, interests, and a sense of fulfillment. Children with developmental disabilities require special care for emotional, social, health, intellectual or physical reasons. Having parents and friends that understand and respect their individual differences can help children with special needs feel accepted and valued.

United Cerebral Palsy of Orange County promotes the acceptance and inclusion of all children.
