History

KultureCity was founded in 2013 by Dr. Julian Maha, an emergency medicine physician, and his wife Dr. Michele Kong, a pediatric critical care physician. They were inspired to start the organization after their son was diagnosed with autism. The couple realized that there were limited resources and support available for families dealing with autism, and they wanted to change that.

Initiatives

KultureCity's main initiative is the Sensory Inclusive program. This program aims to help businesses and community spaces become more inclusive for individuals with sensory needs. 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

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

KultureCity has been recognized for its work in promoting inclusivity. In 2019, it was named one of the World's Most Innovative Companies by Fast Company.
