Monarch School Invites Children with Autism and Their Families to a Special Adapted Showing of "Bee Movie. "

For families like yours with children on the autism spectrum, an outing to the movies can pose an array of challenges. Many children and adolescents with autism may never get the opportunity to join their parents or siblings at the theater -- until now.

Monarch School for Children and Adolescents with Autism, a division of Bellefaire JCB, is hosting with Cleveland Cinemas a unique movie viewing experience for the entire family. We are inviting families who have children with autism spectrum disorder to join us for a private showing of Jerry Seinfeld's animated film Bee Movie. The movie will be specially light and sound adapted. Children are encouraged to bring personal sensory support items and special snacks (the theater's concession stand will be open, as well).

When: Saturday, November 3rd.

Time: Movie begins promptly at 10:00 a.m. without trailers and ads. Please arrive at 9:30 a.m. to buy tickets and choose seats.

Where: Chagrin Cinemas

8200 East Washington Street

Chagrin Falls 44023

Price: Tickets are $5 each.

In addition to the special light and sound adaptations, a designated sensory area outside of the theater will be available for anyone who needs to take a break during the screening of the film. The area will be staffed by Monarch School staff.

To prepare your child with autism for the movie, special social stories have been created. These stories are available attached here and will be placed on our web site at http://www.bellefairejcb.org/autism-education-services/

Please direct any questions or concerns to Karin Hess at Monarch School at 216-320-8658.

We hope to see you there!
