Ability KC

Ability KC brings together the Rehabilitation Institute of Kansas City and Children's Therapeutic Learning Center.

Ability KC brings together Rehabilitation Institute of Kansas City and Children's Therapeutic Learning Center. Whether an individual is born with or experiences in life a physical, developmental, or behavioral condition, a person is not defined by disability nor does it limit quality of life. We invite you to join the journey in helping others and changing the conversation from disability to ability.

A huge thank you to Axis Capital for hosting our team for a Lunch-and-Learn yesterday to learn more about our mission and for stepping up to support two of our Volunteer Impact Projects: making greeting cards and collecting gas & grocery cards. Their engagement was outstanding, and their generous $1,200 donation made the experience truly extraordinary, directly benefiting the individuals and families we serve.

Axis Capital’s commitment to community engagement, and their enthusiasm for deepening their support of Ability KC, highlights what’s possible when businesses connect with meaningful volunteer opportunities. We’re excited to continue building partnerships that strengthen our community and expand our impact.

This week, in recognition of Brain Injury Awareness Month, we were honored to welcome Dr. Qin, an Oncology Rehab Specialist from the University of Kansas Health System, to Ability KC for an in‑depth presentation on brain tumors. The session offered not only essential clinical information but also meaningful insight into the lived experiences of the individuals we serve every day.

From the differences between low‑ and high‑grade gliomas to the functional challenges patients face, Dr. Qin highlighted why comprehensive care is so crucial for individuals with brain tumors. She also helped us recognize where gaps in rehabilitation still exist and how we can be part of closing them.

A heartfelt thank-you to Dr. Qin. We’re grateful for this continued partnership and for every opportunity to deepen our expertise so we can provide the highest level of care to the individuals we serve!

Last November, life took a turn for Jane when a sudden fall resulted in a traumatic brain injury. She held an important role within her school and was deeply woven into its events and culture. Suddenly, everyday skills including attention to detail, multitasking, problem solving, balance, and coordination, were significantly impacted.

From the very beginning, her expert care team rallied around the goal that mattered most to her: returning to the school community she loves. Through occupational and speech therapy, Jane rebuilt the cognitive skills she relied on every day at work. In physical therapy, she strengthened her balance and coordination so she could move through her day with confidence and safety. As she progressed, her team also supported her through the return‑to‑work process, helping guide conversations with her employer and advocating for her needs.

Today, Jane feels ready and excited to step back into her routine. Her words say it best: “Everyone at Ability KC is your friend. Don’t be afraid to ask questions, since everyone is here for you.”

At Ability KC, care is individualized and goal driven, built around the real‑life roles and routines that matter most.

This Brain Injury Awareness Month, we’re honoring Jane’s resilience and the strength and determination of every individual navigating life after a brain injury.

Black History Month, established by historian Carter G. Woodson, is a time to honor the legacy, resilience, and lasting contributions of Black individuals throughout history.

This February, Ability KC celebrates Black culture and recognizes extraordinary leaders whose impact helped shape our nation—some of whom also lived with disabilities:

• Thomas Wiggins – Blind from birth
• Harriet Tubman – Traumatic brain injury, Epilepsy
• Sojourner Truth – Hand injury
• Malcolm X – Dyslexia

As we reflect, we also acknowledge the work that continues today, breaking down barriers, amplifying voices, and advocating for a more equitable and accessible future for all.

Let’s honor their legacies and keep moving forward together.
