Everyone In Afterschool Program
In 2006, UCPGG established the Everyone In afterschool program. This program enables children with disabilities to attend traditional afterschool care programs by providing them with recreation assistants. UCPGG pays for the recreation assistant and the participating family is only responsible for the traditional charges of the afterschool program that they choose.

Special Needs Aquatic Program (SNAP)
SNAP is UCP’s motor development program in the water for children with a variety of abilities and challenges. SNAP strives to help kids with special needs feel pride and self-confidence while helping them build stronger bodies, make friends, and have fun.

To learn more about SNAP, register your child, volunteer, or to make a financial or in-kind donation, see snap kids website:https://snapkids.org/

UCP Hoops Basketball Camp
UCP Hoops Basketball Camp is a great opportunity for special needs youngsters, ages 6-18, to participate in athletics. This program teaches basketball fundamentals and team concepts in a supportive, positive, and fun environment. If a camp is scheduled, it will be listed on our events page.

Assistive Technology and Augmentative Communication (AT/AAC) Initiative

UCP of the Golden Gate (UCPGG) has made a commitment to enhance and increase the utilization of Assistive Technology and Augmentative Communication devices in special education. The ultimate goal is to enable learners of all abilities to leverage technology to the fullest extent possible to maximize their academic potential. Specifically, this effort will:

• Increase stakeholder’s (i.e., teacher’s, parent’s, SLP’s, aide’s, etc.) awareness of the technological options available to them,

• Provide training and support services to learners and stakeholders,

• Increase and facilitate access to technology by providing cost effective, economically feasible options, and

• Provide hands-on access to a wide range of applications and devices in order to allow students and stakeholders to “test drive” and evaluate AT/AAC options.
