If you’ve never taken your special needs child to the movies, Sensory Friendly Films are a great option. It’s the ideal setting for a special needs child’s first movie.
The “silence is golden” rule doesn’t apply during sensory friendly screenings. Kids are able to get up, walk around, shout, dance, and sing. Families can freely bring in their own snacks. The lights aren’t dimmed all the way, the sound is reduced, and there are no previews.
AMC offers SENSORY FRIENDLY FILMS Four SHOWINGS PER MONTH.
The second and fourth Tuesday and Saturday.
Family-friendly movies will continue to show Saturdays, starting at 10am local time. Tuesday showings at 7pm local time that may appeal to others on the autism spectrum.
Please note that dates and films are subject to change.
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!
