Our Focus On Quality
The Ability KC team values continual advancements in expertise and excellence to support individuals with the most complex disabilities, and their families, in achieving life-changing and impactful milestones.
Ability KC always strives to maintain our position as a top provider in the Midwest for outpatient medical rehabilitation and therapeutic preschool services.
In 1971, we were the first organization in Missouri to receive accreditation from the Commission on the Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF). In 2019, Ability KC gained accreditation for sixteen programs, an increase of eight accredited medical programs since the previous survey in 2015.
The Mary Shaw Branton Therapeutic Preschool is accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) and is a state-licensed Peer Model preschool.
Ability KC is also certified by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) as a Comprehensive Outpatient Rehabilitation Facility (CORF).
Achieving accreditation requires a commitment to quality improvement, focusing on the unique needs of each person we serve, and monitoring the results of services. We are passionate about delivering the highest quality in services that you deserve.
