[HopeFay]

This was sent home from Andy's school. I thought those of you who have
children with sensory issues or just the fact of special needs this
would be great news and something to check into:)The article I C/P into here and
added the link as well because it has a map of participating theatres..  If you know someone who may benefit from this please pass it on! This is awesome that these theatres have done this for our kids!

Don't miss the next Sensory Friendly Film!

AMC Entertainment (AMC) and ASA have teamed up to bring families affected by
autism and other disabilities a special opportunity to enjoy their favorite
films in a safe and accepting environment on a monthly basis with the "Sensory
Friendly Films" program.

In order to provide a more accepting and comfortable setting for this unique
audience, the movie auditoriums will have their lights brought up and the sound
turned down, families will be able to bring in their own gluten-free,
casein-free snacks, and no previews or advertisements will be shown before the
movie. Additionally, audience members are welcome to get up and dance, walk,
shout or sing - in other words, AMC's "Silence is Golden®" policy will not be
enforced unless the safety of the audience is questioned.

Did you go to one of our previous Sensory Friendly Flims? Tell us what you
thought!

Tickets are $4-6 depending on location and can be purchased on the day of the
event.
The one in Creve Core is $5 a ticket..

God Bless
