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.

Last Friday, Ability KC partnered with Freedom Concepts to host a Bike Rodeo! Kiddos and their family’s from our Pediatric and Adolescent med rehab program came for bike sizing and evaluations, with Freedom Concepts and the First Hand Foundation helping make it possible for many to receive their very first bike. These adaptive bikes open the door to inclusion, giving kids the chance to ride alongside siblings and friends. 💙🚲
