Autism friendly cinema screenings


Odeon/UCI/STORM cinemas now have Autism Friendly Screenings.  

The basic mechanics are as follows:

1. The sound is reduced.

2. The lighting is set at a higher level.
3. No advertising or trailers.
4. A carer can go free.
5. Pre movie orientation for guests wishing to get familiar with the auditorium along with other measures.

The next two screenings are as follows:
     
February 19th Sunday - 11.30 am - THE MUPPETS
March 11th Sunday - 11.30am - JOHN CARTER.

There are Storm cinemas in Cavan, Limerick, Portlaoise, Waterford and Naas, UCI cinemas in Blanchardstown, Newbridge, Coolock and Stillorgan,  and a new Odeon Cinema will be opening shortly in The Point Village in Dublin.
