Resource & Referral Program
United Cerebral Palsy of the Inland Empire’s philosophy of “Life Without Limits” goes beyond the services we directly provide. UCPIE believes in helping families with requirements that extend outside of our scope of services. With this in mind, UCPIE created our Resource & Referral Program. Through our outreach programs, professional associations, and relationships with similar-minded agencies and groups, we have built a knowledge base for families to find the help they need. The following are Resource Guides & Links we believe will be helpful.
For additional assistance, contact Lizette Moreno at lizette@ucpie.org or 760-321-8184 ext. 106
