AUTISM FRIENDLY SCREENINGS AT THE PLAZA

We have adapted the screenings to meet the needs of this audience. Many young people on the spectrum experience acute sensory awareness so we maintain a low level of light in the auditorium throughout the screening and also play the film with reduced volume.

Screenings take place in a safe, friendly relaxed atmosphere. Staff on duty are trained and available to support families.

We have some beanbags at the front to enable children to relax.
