 Please take a second to answer the poll below. Empire Theatres is currently in talks to decide whether sensory-friendly screenings should be offered in our area. This would mean the theatre would lower the volume, raise the lights a little and it would create an understanding that there might be some talking/noise/stimming during the film. GoTeamKate is currently organizing a screening of a children's movie this summer as part of our mission to raise autism awareness (which we hope you will all attend) but we would like Empire Theatres to offer these screenings on a monthly basis as part of their regular schedule. What do you think? Please leave comments below if you have any suggestions or ideas. Thanks.

I think this would be a great way for all younger children to experience a movie. I have attended regular screenings of movies with children without sensory issues and they still find it a bit intimidating the first time they attend. What a great idea!

I am a big Movie Fan and I would have a lot of respect for Empire Theatres if they make the right decision here !!! Let Autistic children have the same wonderful Movie Experience that other children take for granted :) Your comment will be posted after it is approved.
