KultureCity Sensory Inclusion Initiative FAQ 

The sensory inclusion initiative is designed to help arenas, zoos, aquariums, museums, restaurants and other places of public attraction better entertain their guests that might have sensory needs/ sensory processing issues.

A sensory need/sensory processing issues is one where the guest affected by this finds noises, smells, lights and even crowds not only overwhelming from the sensory perspective but also sometimes physically painful. Because of this, these guests often find  themselves isolated from the community.

Sensory friendly is one where the location has had all the potentially noxious stimuli removed. Because this is sometimes a difficult task, accessibility is therefore limited to the day and location of the sensory friendly event. Sensory inclusion liberates that. It creates daily accessibility with training, tools and other modifications that although do not remove the noxious stimuli. help the guest cope with this potential sensory over stimulation better thus ensuring an accepting and inclusive experience for all.

These could be guests with PTSD, autism, early onset dementia, anxiety, stroke patients just to name a few.

KultureCity helps by providing the necessary training to better entertain guests with these needs. They also provide signage, weighted lap pads, sensory bags that contain noise cancelling headphones, fidgets tools and much more in order to truly create a welcoming experience for these guests.

It helps all guests feel welcome and included in our locations. It also helps us reach a huge portion of our community that has long been isolated.
