The Keystone Centre in Brandon has become the latest facility in Canada to recognize and pay special assistance to people with sensory needs.
KultureCity, an American non-profit group, has trained staff to recognize people who are experiencing sensory overload.
They will also provide kits that include noise-canceling headphones, a fidget tool, verbal cue cards, and a weighted lap pad.
Before attending an event, families can download the free KultureCity App to view what sensory features are available and where they can access them.
A media release by the Keystone Centre said KultureCity’s flagship initiative, the Sensory Inclusive program, has been widely embraced by venues, stadiums, and cultural institutions around the world.
