In 1947 two local organizations, Children’s Therapeutic Learning Center and Rehabilitation Institute of Kansas City, opened their doors to serve children and adults with disabilities. Seventy years later those organizations came together as one, Ability KC.
Annually, more than 2,500 individuals and families receive medical rehabilitation, therapeutic preschool and employment services. In addition, multiple specialty programs and services are offered, such as neuropsychology and rehabilitation psychology, applied behavior analysis (ABA), corporate partnerships for employment opportunities and much more. Since 1947, thousands of lives have been changed and celebrations of successes have occurred due to the generosity of the Kansas City community.
