From grassroots beginnings, UCP was born as a national organization in 1949. In 1950, a small group of dedicated citizens of the District of Columbia founded the Cerebral Palsy Association of Washington D.C. with a mission to educate citizens of the District about the causes and treatment of Cerebral Palsy while promoting the creation of facilities
that were better equipped to diagnose and treat sufferers of the condition.The Cerebral Palsy Association of Washington, D.C. later joined the national affiliate network and changed its name to United Cerebral Palsy of Washington D.C., Incorporated.
In 1987, United Cerebral Palsy of Washington D.C. Inc. underwent another reformation after receiving a certificate of merger and becoming United Cerebral Palsy of Washington D.C. and Northern Virginia, Inc.
​
In June 2022, the organization rebranded and became WeCareDMV Day Services, Inc.
