Mark your calendars! Next week we're meeting with Kansans who are ready to try our Guided Independent Living Assessment (GILA) program. This six week immersive experience helps participants with disabilities determine where they're at with their independent living skills, what accommodations might help when they're ready to live on their own, and more.

Come meet the GILA staff, tour one of the accessible apartments, and meet some of our mentors with disabilities who are there to support participants during their real-world learning experiences.

"In common architecture, the baseline assumption is a non-disabled body, and everything else is retrofitted around that. A ramp gets added at the end, doorways are widened, and a bathroom is made accessible. At the Paralympic Village, this got flipped on its head. It starts with the questions: Who is going to be here? What do all of their bodies need?"

For two weeks, I saw a blueprint for what it looks like when accessibility is the starting point.

Our Adult Day Program crew recently took a trip to Exploration Place to check out the Illusions special exhibit! We loved the interactive elements and optical tricks that helped us think about how our brains experience the world around us.

We're always looking for new areas of our city to explore. Where should we visit next?
