The Phillies and KultureCity, the nation’s leading nonprofit on sensory accessibility and acceptance for those with invisible disabilities, have brought a new dedicated room and play space for individuals with sensory processing sensitivities who may need a quieter and more secure environment while attending games at the ballpark.
Inside the S.A.V. is a sensory room outfitted with bean bags from Yogibo and visual light panels by Nanoleaf, as well as activity panels and bubble walls. The space can be used by one family/group/individual at a time when they need to step away to decompress, enabling families to take a quick break if needed before going back to enjoying the ballgame.
The experience is part of KultureCity’s sensory-inclusive program, designed to “Make the Nevers Possible” and help guests with sensory needs like PTSD, autism, dementia and strokes, just to name a few, feel welcomed.
