Movie showing offered for ADD, autistic children in Montgomery on Saturday

MONTGOMERY, Alabama -- The Montgomery Tri-County Autism Networking Support Group is pairing up with the Rave theater in Montgomery to host a movie event especially for children with autism, ADD, ADHD, and other conditions that often make it difficult to enjoy a film in a regular movie theater setting.

An 11 a.m. sensory-friendly showing of "Puss 'n Boots," a Dreamworks animation to be released this weekend, is set for Saturday, Oct. 29, at the Rave. It will be geared toward families wishing to take their children to a movie without fear of disrupting their fellow patrons.

During the movie, kids will be free to be themselves by getting up, walking around, talking, fidgeting or exhibiting other traits associated with their conditions. The lights will be turned slightly up, the sound will be turned down to create a sensory-friendly environment.

For more information, call Sherri Killough with the Autism Networking group in the Montgomery Tri-County area at 334-380-3061.
