UCP of San Diego offers a variety of services for children with disabilities and their families. Our goal is to assist each child, as well as his/her family, to reach their highest potential. We believe that early intervention services can benefit very young children.

This unique service has been developed because of our agency's belief in the importance of play in a child's development. It is a mobile toy library which travels around the county and makes designated stops at libraries and recreation centers. Parents are shown techniques to use to enhance their child's ability to play. This service is available to children with any type of disability from birth to 5 years old developmentally.

All children learn through play and use toys as learning tools. Toys offer the reward of fun, enabling children to learn new skills, which focus on abilities rather than disabilities.

The Toy Library is a mobile program, designed to serve you in your own community. Our Toy Librarians travel throughout San Diego County, using libraries, recreation centers and Boys & Girls Clubs as sites. Appointments are also available to meet at the UCP site.

Children with any type of disability, with a developmental age from birth to five years, may take part in this program. There are no income eligibility requirements for participation. Complete an application (English or Spanish) and return it to the Toy Lending Library. There is a $20.00 annual fee for program participants.

The Toy Library is a member of the USA Toy Library Association.

Parents and children are eligible to participate in the software library. The software library provides assistance to parents on selecting software that will aid in their child's development.

Families of young children with disabilities need to have access to assistive technology that create opportunities for their children to show what they know, interact with others, be independent and enjoy control over their lives.

Children with any type of disability age 2 to 10 years old.

Software is checked out to take home for two weeks. Upon returning the software, participants may check out another program. Software can be obtained at the United Cerebral Palsy Association office or through our mobile Toy Library sites located throughout San Diego County.

Software is available in a variety of formats and platforms.

Participants are required to fill out a registration form, sign a loan agreement, and pay an annual fee of $20.00. Software is initially obtained through appointment.
