KultureCity© makes the nevers possible by creating sensory accessibility and inclusion for those with invisible disabilities.

One in 6 individuals have a sensory need or an invisible disability. These are individuals with ptsd, autism, dementia, strokes just to name a few. Sensory needs are a common medical condition in which the brain has trouble receiving and responding to information that comes in through the senses.

Common sounds, lights, crowds and even certain smells might not only be overwhelming but also physically painful. Because of this, these individuals withdraw from communities not by choice but by circumstance as they worry about how the world will accept or include them.

KultureCity is the nation's leading nonprofit on sensory accessibility and acceptance for those with invisible disabilities.
