Theaters to show sensory-friendly movies for kids

AMC theaters is teeming up with the Autism Society each month to bring families of autistic children a special opportunity to see movies in a safe and accepting environment. During these sensory friendly films, the movie theater lights are brought up and the sound is turned down. Families can bring in their own glutten-free snacks. There are no previews or ads shown before the movie. In addition, the audience members are welcome to get up and dance, walk, shout or sing.

Go to autism-society.org/sensoryfilms to find a list and map of participating theaters.
