This weekend, our whole family is going to see the Muppets movie – but not at your average screening. We’re going to a special screening put on by Sensory Friendly Films at AMC Theaters.

From their website:

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.

What an outstanding idea! And kudos to AMC Theatres for stepping up and supporting children with disabilities.

Steven D. Greydanus has posted a positive review of the film, and it sounds family friendly.

If you know of families with children that have special needs, please consider sharing information about Sensory Friendly Films with them.
