United Cerebral Palsy of Arkansas Turns Into Achieve Community Alliance

United Cerebral Palsy of Arkansas underwent a name change, and the celebration of the transformation is on Sept. 13, according to Amy Deere from the Harrison Regional Chamber of Commerce.

The chamber will celebrate the name change with a ribbon cutting. Deere appeared on KHOZ's "Around The Table" to discuss that and more. That ceremony kicked off at 11 a.m.

Deere said the location of the newly named Achieve Community Alliance is Signature Tower's suite 206. The organization already has a new website up.

Their mission, according to the website, "is to advance the independence, productivity, and full citizenship of people with disabilities." They have programs that help people with cerebral palsy as well as other disabilities. Their vision champions equality and independence from limits.

The website states that the vision is that "Every member of society regardless of ability is valued and lives a life without limits." It launched as United Cerebral Palsy back 1957.

The organization was started by parents of children who face cerebral palsy and more disabilities. Today they continue offering care.

"Our team of dedicated professionals offers daycare and parent relief to a comprehensive network of habilitation/rehabilitation. UCP provides early intervention and preschool services, adult habilitation, Medicaid waiver, customized employment services, community living arrangement, and therapeutic services," the website states.

The name and brand change were decided on as a way to more clearly state what they do. The website clarifies that Achieve Community Alliance will sustain the affiliation with United Cerebral Palsy.

More was discussed on the broadcast. The full interview with Deere is on the "Around The Table" Facebook Page.
