One of my favorite things to do in the summer growing up was to go to the movie theater. It’s the perfect way to beat the heat, and enjoy time with family and friends.

However, going to the movies can be a really overwhelming experience for people who are on the autism spectrum, have sensory processing disorders, or other special needs.  Regal Cinemas has found a way to make the movies fun for everyone! My Way Matinee is a new sensory-friendly theater experience that features movies with lower volumes and brighter lights.

Movie-goers will also be able to move around the theater at will, and are even encouraged to sing or dance along with the films. Check out this link to find a My Way Matinee screening near you!
