AMC Entertainment (AMC) and the Autism Society have teamed up to bring families affected by autism and other disabilities a special opportunity to enjoy their favorite films in a safe and accepting environment on a monthly basis with the "Sensory Friendly Films" program.

In order to provide a more accepting and comfortable setting for this unique audience, the movie auditoriums will have their lights brought up and the sound turned down, families will be able to bring in their own gluten-free, casein-free snacks, and no previews or advertisements will be shown before the movie. Additionally, audience members are welcome to get up and dance, walk, shout or sing - in other words, AMC’s “Silence is Golden®” policy will not be enforced unless the safety of the audience is questioned.

Tickets are $4-6 depending on location and can be purchased on the day of the event.

Organized by:
Autism Conferences of America
In Collaboration With:
Arizona State University - Autism/Aspergers Research Program, Autism Research Institute, Autism Society of California
Autism Speaks, Autism Spectrum of Support (ASOS), Center for Autism and Related Disorders and TACA (Talk About Curing Autism)

This is a beginner seminar geared for parents who have just started attending Individualized Educational Program/Plan Meetings (less than 18 months).

“IEP” refers both to a meeting and to the document that is produced at that meeting. An individualized Educational program meeting (alternatively sometimes called an "Individualized Education Plan," "Individual Education Plan," or some combination thereof) is required by law when a child is identified as having a disability that is recognized under the Individuals with Disabilities Educational Act (IDEA). The purpose of an IEP is to provide a special needs child with specialized and individualized assistance in school. Meetings are held at the child’s school and documents created at these meetings specify the district's offer of special education services for your child.

Come and receive some extra support or to chat all topics related to autism and meet other TACA families. Hosted by Julie Ward, mother of two recovered children.

Independent Assessments

Why now, more than ever, parents need to know this tool.

If your non-verbal or low-communicating child with autism uses Assistive Technology to communicate, you are welcome to join our AAC Friendship Group.

For kids who type to communicate, it's a great opportunity to share thoughts, ideas and feelings on a wide range of topics in a relaxed and supportive environment.

So bring your letterboard, your Go-Talk, your Lightwriter, or your Dynawrite and come make some friends!

Childcare is not available, sorry. This is an adult only meeting.

We look forward to seeing you there!

Music, food, raffle and awards. Open to all American made or powered cars. Over 200 vehicles are expected to attend this event.!
