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 hosted our 7th Annual Professional Development Day, bringing staff together for a day of learning, reflection, and connection.

Through sessions focused on personal and professional development, communication, wellbeing, financial wellness, and healthcare operations, staff gained valuable insights to support their work and continued growth.

Thank you to our culture committee, presenters, community partners, and board members who joined us for helping make the day possible and investing in the continued growth of our team.

Ability KC was proud to host the MO Better Foundation TechMO Fest recently, bringing together individuals with disabilities, families, caregivers, professionals, students, and community partners for an evening of innovation, connection, and discovery.

Attendees explored assistive technology firsthand, learned from technology users and advocates like Pierre Paul, and experienced how adaptive tools can support greater independence, creativity, and access in everyday life. From adaptive gaming and smart home solutions to eye-gaze and sip-and-blow technology, the event highlighted the many ways innovation can help people pursue their goals and engage more fully in the activities that matter most.

Thank you to MO Better Foundation, the exhibitors, partners, and everyone who joined us for this inspiring evening of learning and connection. Together, we're expanding awareness of what's possible through assistive technology and creating a more accessible future for all.

As comes to a close, we're reflecting on the strength, determination, and progress of individuals navigating life after injury.

At this year's Ability Luncheon, we had the privilege of sharing Maci's story. After a spinal cord injury, Maci came to Ability KC with a goal of returning to the nursing profession she loved. Through specialized rehabilitation services and support from our Return to Work Navigator, she not only returned to work as a nurse but also had the opportunity to join Ability KC's team doing what she loved.

We're proud to support individuals like Maci as they pursue meaningful goals, regain independence, and discover new opportunities along the way.

This , we’re proud to share stories of determination, progress, and innovative rehabilitation.

Following a serious car accident, Jacob began rebuilding strength and independence through Ability KC’s Day program, exercise groups, and specialized therapies. He’s worked toward meaningful goals including improving hand function, building upper‑body strength, exploring adaptive gaming, and preparing for future driving. Part of his therapy has included utilizing ARC EX, a spinal cord stimulation system designed to support recovery for individuals with cervical spinal cord injuries. ARC EX delivers targeted electrical pulses through the skin to help improve hand and arm strength and sensation, enhancing the work he’s already doing in therapy.

With consistent hard work and support from his expert therapy team, Jacob continues making steady gains in strength, balance, and daily independence. His journey shows what’s possible when personal goals, skilled therapy, and emerging technology come together to expand opportunity and quality of life.

MO Better TechMO Fest is coming to Kansas City this Wednesday!

We’re excited to bring our re-designed TechMO Fest to Ability KC or an afternoon focused on assistive technology, accessibility, inclusive recreation, adaptive gaming and connection.

And I’m especially excited that Pierre Paul, co-Founder & CEO of We Hear You and a member of the MO Better Advisory Council, will be joining us with his team.

Pierre is a friend and an important part of our Connected by Design™ work. His approach fits perfectly with something we believe strongly at MO Better: the people who use and rely on these tools every day should be part of the conversation from the beginning.

Pierre will lead our CEU session, “Connected by Design: Assistive Technology, Accessibility, and Independence.” The session will offer practical insight into emerging accessibility tools and human-centered design strategies.

We’re grateful to Ability KC for partnering with us to bring MO Better TechMO Fest to Kansas City and for making CEU credit available to participating professionals.

📅 Wednesday, September 23
📍 Ability KC | 3010 Main Street, Kansas City
🎓 CEU Session with Pierre Paul: 4–5 p.m. | 1.0 CEU credit

Recently, a group of talented team members from Ability KC attended the annual Academy of Spinal Cord Injury Professionals (ASCIP) Educational Conference, which features educational sessions, professional networking, and research updates in spinal cord injury care. Our team learned from experienced professionals across multiple disciplines, gaining practical insights in bowel and bladder management, autonomic dysreflexia prevention, and emerging resources and advocacy efforts. They also valued connecting with clinicians from across the country to exchange ideas, discuss treatment strategies, and strengthen continuity of care.

As we recognize , we’re proud to support ongoing education and collaboration that help us provide the best possible care for individuals with spinal cord injuries at every stage of life.
