The Whole Person is a consumer-controlled Center for Independent Living (CIL). A majority of the Board of Directors, staff and volunteers are people with significant disabilities.
TWP is committed to expanding Kansas City’s opportunities for independent living by advocating for positive changes in our community. We lead by example: A majority of our Board and staff are people with one or more disabilities. As a result of more than 39 years of community advocacy, TWP’s efforts in tandem with local partners, have resulted in an increased number of curb ramps throughout the metropolitan area; an increased number of accessible businesses, programs, agencies, recreational facilities, and more; a greater number of persons with disabilities who are visibly present within the community; improved transportation options for people with disabilities; and improved media coverage of, and attitudes toward, people with disabilities.
