Monarch School Invites Children with Autism and Their Families to a Special Adapted Showing of" Madagascar 2" at Solon Cinemas/Cleveland Cinemas

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 Center for 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 the animated film Madagascar 2. 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 8, 2008

Time: Movie begins promptly at 10:00 a.m. without trailers and ads. Please arrive in time to buy tickets and choose seats. Where: NOTE CHANGE OF LOCATION
