Sensory Friendly Films

[Guest guest]

from the Generation rescue newsletter

AMC Entertainment partners with Autism Society of America

Bringing sensory friendly films to families affected by autism.

In partnership with the Autism Society of America, AMC Entertainment

is bringing Sensory Friendly Films to families affected by autism on a monthly

basis to select communities.The program provides a

special opportunity for families to enjoy their favorite films in a

safe and accepting environment. The auditoriums dedicated to the

program have their lights up, the sound turned down and audience

members are invited to get up and dance, walk, shout or sing! The

idea

for the program began with a request from a parent with an

autistic child for a special screening at AMC Columbia Mall 14 in

Columbia, MD. More than 300 children and parents attended the first

screening. They are thrilled to offer the program at many locations nationwide - please visit their website

for a listing of upcoming movies and participating locations. <http://www.amcentertainment.com/sff/>liora here: Many, many cities across the U.S (not Little Rock, not Memphis...but contact them to start a program, they say).
