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.

Why I Run: Doug’s Story

Meet Doug. When his son Teddy was diagnosed with brain cancer at age two, their family found hope at Ability KC. Through physical, occupational, speech, and integrated therapies, Teddy rebuilt his strength and confidence, and today he’s thriving in school, making friends, and growing in independence every day.

For Doug and his family, the Groundhog Run is more than a race. It’s a “thank you to the therapists who never stopped believing — and a commitment to the kids still on their recovery journeys.” Doug’s family and friends have helped raise over $5,500 for Ability KC through their 2026 Groundhog Run team, supporting the children and families we serve. We’re incredibly grateful for their dedication and can’t wait to cheer them on at this year’s Groundhog Run. If Doug and Teddy’s story inspires you, register today. Whether you run, walk or roll solo, start a team, or rally your friends and family, every step creates new possibilities for the children and families at Ability KC.
