When we talk about diverse learning styles, we are looking at the different pathways the brain uses to take in, process, and express information. Rather than a "one-size-fits-all" approach, individuals often naturally lean toward distinct learning styles:

Visual: Learning through seeing pictures, diagrams, and written words.

Auditory: Processing information best through listening, speaking, and rhythm.

Kinaesthetic / Tactile: Understanding the world through hands-on experience, touch, and movement.

Verbal & Logical: Focusing on language structures or identifying patterns and reasoning.

True inclusion means recognizing these unique pathways and adapting our environments to support them. To learn more about navigating resources and developmental supports, visit the Parents as Paid Caregivers section of our website at ucpofcentralaz.org.

When a child is authorized for more than 40 hours of weekly care, the state does not reduce your hours; it just changes who can provide them. Arizona limits parents to billing a maximum of 40 hours per week. To ensure your child still gets 100% of their care, UCP coordinates additional support to fill the remaining hours so you never face a gap in services.

Head over to our Parents as Paid Caregivers page at ucpofcentralaz.org to learn how our team helps you manage authorized hours that exceed the limit.

Yes, with a few important restrictions. You can absolutely work another job while enrolled in the Parents as Paid Caregivers program. However, your schedule cannot overlap, meaning you cannot bill for caregiving hours during the same times you are paid by your regular employer, even if you work from home. Additionally, parents are limited to a maximum of 40 paid caregiving hours per week.

To learn more about how scheduling and waiver limits work, visit the Parents as Paid Caregivers section of our website at ucpofcentralaz.org.

Our ArizonAbility adaptive basketball clinic was an incredible success, and it took a phenomenal team to make it happen.

This impact is only possible through powerful community partnerships. We are deeply grateful to the elite Ability360 coaches for bringing the passion, training, and mentorship that help our athletes level up. A special thank you also goes to the Phoenix Suns & Phoenix Mercury Foundation, whose vital support helps build the permanent infrastructure needed to make adaptive recreation a reality.

The UCP of Central Arizona Adaptive Experiences Initiative redefines the traditional boundaries of care by moving beyond clinical walls and onto the court, creating sustainable pathways to sports, arts, and recreation for individuals with disabilities and neurodivergent individuals.

A huge thank you to Fox 10, AZ Family, and the local media outlets who came out to capture the action and spotlight the power of inclusive sports.

Check out the highlights from the clinic on our website. Link in bio.
