The Autism Society offers Sensory Friendly Films to help assist parents of children with SPD, Autism and other disabilities enjoy a trip to the theater. At this time the closest theater (to Stamford) is the AMC Theater in Danbury CT. I have reached out to the Autism Society to see if we can work with other theaters closer to home so that children in lower Fairfield County will have easier access to this great event as well. I will keep you informed of any new theaters that I find out about.
Below is a description of what a Sensory Friendly Film is like and also a list of the upcoming Sensory Friendly Films. If any of my clients do decide to go see one of these movies, please send me a picture of your little one in the theater! I would love to add some photo's to my website and blog as I think this program is a fantastic opportunity for all children with SPD and Autism.
AMC Theatres (AMC) and the Autism Society 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.
Tickets are $4-6 depending on location and can be purchased on the day of the event.
