IMPACT Adult Program
IMPACT (Individuals Making Personal Achievements
Come True) Adult Program provides opportunities for individuals with
disabilities to participate in social and community activities.
IMPACT serves individuals 18 years of age or over with cerebral
palsy or other disabilities, including mental retardation, who will
benefit from a day program focusing on community inclusion
activities. All of our clients reside in the North Texas area.
IMPACT is open Monday through Friday from 7:30 am to 4:30 pm. The
ultimate goal of IMPACT is to encourage and increase the
independence of each person.
For information about joining IMPACT and to schedule a tour, please

Activities Calendar
Several adults who attend IMPACT take the
DART to the Harry Hines Service Center, where the adult program is
located. Others have their caretaker drop them off. The UCP Team is
extremely helpful and knowledgeable about handling
DART
transportation to ensure the safety of the adults.
The IMPACT program has several
supporters who host a variety of parties for the adults. Some of the
