Philadelphia Sets the Standard as the First Certified Sensory Inclusive City!
Posted by Mayor's Office for People with Disabilities on January 2, 2024
The Mayor’s Office for People with Disabilities, in partnership with KultureCity, has successfully led Philadelphia to become the first certified Sensory Inclusive City! A press conference was held on December 19, 2023, where the city was presented with the designation and joined by KultureCity, community partners, Actor Stephen Kunken, the Philadelphia Phillies Phanatic, Philadelphia Eagle’s Swoop and residents.
Earlier this year, the Innovation Fund awarded the Mayor’s Office for People with Disabilities a grant to launch the city’s first-ever Sensory Inclusive Project to provide training and supportive elements to increase the awareness, understanding and available support to become a sensory inclusive city.
