Oh yes, we changed the label to Control Panel to make it clearer. Sorry! I will see if I can mention that in the post.

Give a short explanation of why you want to join, and then wait to be approved. It's that simple!

I don't see the "User CP" on my screen so I am stymied on step one. I would like to join the children with special needs private group. Could you help?

It will say "Control Panel (CP)". It's under that row you quoted, above "Thread subscriptions - Forum subscriptions"
We renamed it to "Control Panel" instead of UserCP.
We have quite a few private groups that you cannot see without being granted access:
AO Students (for AO teens ages 13-19)
AO Parent of Participating AO Teen (every parent who has a teen in the AO students area is automatically added to this group which has limited access to that area)
Foster/Adoptive Parents
LD/Special Needs
Gifted
Parents with Health Challenges
42 Moms (for parents who are at least 40 years old)
Parents of Teens (parents of any teens are welcome here; this is a parents-only discussion area)

It seems to be back to UserCP

Yep! It reverted when we did the update last year, and I decided to leave it for now.
We have added a new group that you can join if you qualify: Dads, Lads, and Manly Grads. As you might guess, this group is limited to male members only, and at this time you must be 18 to join. So when you request to join, please give us the information we need to know that you qualify to be a member of this private forum area. (AO Students must also be in the AO Alumni user group in order to qualify. If you haven't been promoted to AO Alumni but you are 18, contact the mods in the AO Student area.)
I can see the group but there is no option to join it.
