🎉 We’re kicking off the 2026 InterHab Conference!

What an incredible way to start our conference! We’re excited to bring together providers, advocates, community partners, and leaders from across Kansas for an opportunity to connect, learn, celebrate, and grow together.

A huge thank you to Kibu for being our Billy Blanks Jr. to kick things off with energy and inspiration. Special thank you to our keynote speaker, Percy Turner to give a reminder of the power of connection, inclusion, and community!

We’re looking forward to meaningful conversations, new ideas, strengthened partnerships, and plenty of fun as we celebrate the incredible people who make up Kansas’ I/DD community.

Here’s to an amazing InterHab Conference! ❤️🖤

InterHab’s Champion Fund Committee is proud to recognize Representative Nikki McDonald as an InterHab Champion for her willingness to engage, ask questions, and help strengthen advocacy for Kansans with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD).

Representative McDonald took the initiative to reach out to InterHab and offer thoughtful feedback on how we can better advocate and communicate the needs of the I/DD community. We are always grateful for legislators who not only want to be part of the conversation, but are willing to start it.

Her engagement is also an important reminder that you don’t have to serve on a specific committee to make a difference for Kansans with I/DD. Asking questions, building relationships, and taking the time to understand the issues are all important parts of being a champion.

Thank you, Representative McDonald, for reaching out, starting conversations, and showing that every legislator has an opportunity to be a voice for the I/DD community. We are proud to recognize you as an InterHab Champion!

Two weeks until Power Up! 2026, and we can’t wait to see everyone in Manhattan!

Registration is now closed, and we’re putting the finishing touches on three days of learning, connecting, and celebrating our incredible InterHab community. To our attendees, speakers, sponsors, and exhibitors, thank you for being part of it!

See you October 21–23!

InterHab’s Champion Fund Committee is proud to recognize Senator Adam Thomas as an InterHab Champion for his advocacy for Kansans with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD).

Through his work on the Committee of Government Efficiencies (COGE), Senator Thomas has shown his support for continuous eligibility and the importance of creating processes that make sense for individuals living with lifelong disabilities. We appreciate his willingness to ask important questions and speak up about policies that can directly impact an individual’s ability to maintain access to essential services and supports.

We are grateful for legislators like Senator Thomas who take the time to understand how policy decisions affect the everyday lives of Kansans with I/DD and their families.

Thank you, Senator Thomas, for using your voice to support individuals with lifelong disabilities. We are proud to recognize you as an InterHab Champion!

InterHab was grateful to be invited to join CMS, KDHE, KDADS, COF Training Services, Inc., and StationMD for a conversation about health care access for Kansans with I/DD, particularly in rural communities.

It was a great opportunity to talk about the challenges providers and the people they support experience every day and to highlight some of the exciting work happening through Kansas’ Rural Health Transformation Program, including our partnership with StationMD to expand telehealth access for Kansans with I/DD.

InterHab appreciates the opportunity to have a seat at the table and looks forward to continuing this work with partners across Kansas! 💙
