In April, AMC Entertainment and the Autism Society launched a program that would change the way autistic children enjoyed themselves at the movies. The Sensory Friendly Films program, which kicked off on April 10, allows for thousands of children with autism to see one of 93 sensory-friendly screenings across the nation in over 45 cities across 30 states.

One of those films, How to Train Your Dragon, explored cinematic magic in an autism-friendly setting. Lights are dimmed but remain on, volume is lowered, and the movie starts without previews. Families with special dietary needs were allowed to bring in special snacks from home and children were allowed to talk, respond, yell, dance, or even walk around the theater throughout the film.

Thankfully, this program that caters to those with developmental disabilities will be held on Saturday mornings once per month in all of the participating theaters and cities. All of the films are newly released and featured either a G or PG rating.
