Inclusion: Getting everyone involved
summary
Culture City trains venue staff and builds quiet sensory rooms and playground areas so families with sensory needs can enter concerts, games, zoos and museums without being forced to leave; it lists about 200 venues across the U.S., lands NBA and NFL partnerships after incidents like a Cleveland game, and signs up roughly 20 new locations a day. The model provides sensory bags, staff training and retreat spaces (a dressing room once saved a Broadway visit) and claims both social impact and measurable revenue gains by reaching 20% of the U.S. population.
