Central Connections is a center-based day program.  At UCP we utilize a person-centered approach to tailor day program to the individual member.  This includes daily range of motion exercises to promote circulation, working on personal goals, becoming more independent, communication skills, learning what it means to be a self-advocate and developing the skills to become one’s own advocate.  Central Connections also offers daily Focus Classes that include a weekly cooking class, sign language class, creativity class and a health and wellness class.

Expanding Horizons is a community-based learning and integration experience. This program allows members to be active members of the community in which they live. Each day the members work to build skills in areas such as independence and self-sufficiency, personal safety, mobility training, self-advocacy, vocational skills and exploration, communication, and use of community resources. Members of this program participate in community service activities, attend social outings, participate in a recycling program, maintain a community garden and stay healthy by participating in various recreational activities.

Transportation Services for outlying cities such as Newman, Patterson, Westley, Waterford, Oakdale and Keyes are provided by UCP.
