ESPN surveyed 136 teams in the NFL , NBA , WNBA , MLB and NHL about accessibility needs.

Tens of millions of Americans live with conditions that are not immediately apparent but significantly impact their daily lives.

Advocates for people with invisible disabilities say they want to see teams offer accommodations.

All 29 NBA teams that responded to ESPN said they have or are building sensory areas/rooms.

Almost all teams said they offer headphones or assisted-listening devices.

Cleveland 's Quicken Loans Arena became the first sensory-inclusive arena in the U.S. Many teams work with KultureCity to build such rooms.
