The KidScape at the Johnson County Museum is a fully-immersive, interactive history experience for kids.

The Johnson County Museum is turning itself into a low-sensory environment on the first Monday of every month.

The new limited capacity sessions are designed to better accommodate children with sensory processing differences and Autism Spectrum Disorders.

When I host Up To Date each morning at 9, my aim is to engage the community in conversations about the Kansas City area’s challenges, hopes and opportunities. I try to ask the questions that listeners want answered about the day’s most pressing issues and provide a place for residents to engage directly with newsmakers.
