Family Inspiration Leads Student to Add Sensory Accessibility to BW Theatres
Written by Joyce DeGirolamo
Taylor Lang '24 is a recipient of the 2023 Women for BW Giving Circle award.
Thanks to Lang, BW theatres are becoming certified sensory-inclusive venues offering accommodations that can benefit individuals with autism, dementia, PTSD and other conditions. Sensory-inclusive accommodation is part of a growing trend that provides welcoming environments for people whose brains have trouble receiving and responding to information that comes in through the senses.
"Through my research, I found out about a national organization called KultureCity, which provides guidance and support in implementing sensory-inclusive accommodations for organizations. Through our partnership with KultureCity, our front-of-theatre house staff will receive training, and the University will receive signage and supplies that align with sensory accommodation. In addition, BW's Kleist Center is now certified as a sensory-inclusive venue," she noted.
