Community Resources
There are many local resources for neurodiverse families in Kansas City. KC is home to a plethora of community play-based activities and places for you and your child to explore! This list also includes financial and nonprofit resources available to you. You’re not alone in your journey—the various organizations listed here will help you get the support you need outside of Playabilities.
Feeding
For parents navigating difficulties with feeding their children, we have an extensive set of guides with tips, strategies, and information. These downloadable handouts, sorted by topic, target different feeding challenges children may face. From infancy and onward, find more information about the feeding therapy services we offer at Playabilities!
Physical Therapy
If you’re worried about your child’s overall muscle tone, you can learn about Hypertonicity in children on this page. While muscle tone is important at all ages, too much muscle tone in children can negatively affect their health and daily activities. This page provides an overview of potential concerns and how Playabilities can help through physical therapy.
Sensory Processing
Learn more about sensory processing differences in children through our collection of books, podcasts, websites, support groups, products, and educational materials. Diving into your child’s sensory challenges will empower you to advocate for your child’s well-being and enhance the quality of life for the whole family.
Financial and Nonprofit Support
Providing your child with therapeutic services that are recommended for them can be difficult due to finances. Individualized therapy is an investment. While we work with insurance companies, we understand that financial limitations can be a barrier to your child receiving the best care. When financial and insurance limitations become an issue, several Kansas City organizations are here to help support your family.
You can visit our events page to learn about local events in the KC community. We keep an ongoing list of recurring and seasonal events so the community can get together and grow together!
Yes, we encourage it! We want this page to be a resource for all who need it.
