Date: Sat., 3/19/2010
Time: 11:00am
Locations: All Studio Movie Grill Locations
Admission: Children with special needs - FREE / Adult: Regular Price Purchased @ the Box Office ONLY

"Studio Movie Grill is pleased to offer regular Special Needs Screenings for families raising children with special needs, and thanks to its partnership with Variety the Children’s Charity of Texas & Land-O-Lake has been able to present these screenings free to all children for the past 5 years. The program gives these special families an opportunity to enjoy a family-friendly feature in a safe and warm environment. Auditoriums are adjusted with lights a little brighter, sound a little softer and no one minds if audience members dance, sing, shout or walk about during the movie and families can feel relaxed and comfortable enjoying the movie experience together."

Sensory Friendly Film - March 12

Not really free, but a great deal.

"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.
Upcoming Shows - March 12: Mars Needs Moms"

Yet Another Chance to Win an iPad

Autism Speaks is offering a chance to win an iPad.

I don't think you or your contacts actually have to make a donation in order to enter.

Deadline for this contest is December 29th at 11:59 PM.
