KultureCity was founded in 2013 by Dr. Julian Maha, an emergency medicine physician, and his wife Dr. Michele Kong, a pediatric critical care physician.

The program provides training for staff, sensory bags with noise-canceling headphones and fidget tools, and signage to indicate that the location is sensory inclusive.

Partnerships[edit]

KultureCity has partnered with numerous organizations and venues to implement their Sensory Inclusive program. Some of these partners include the NBA, NFL, NHL, and MLB teams, as well as zoos, schools, and restaurants.

Recognition[edit]
