Sensory Friendly Show: The Croods

6/3/2013

by Nikki Schwartz

Cinema Cafe in Virginia Beach let me know that they are doing another sensory friendly show this Saturday at 10:30 am at the Pembroke location.

Guess what? Tickets are only $1.50!! Guess what else? We have a pair to give away. I'll tell you how to win in a second. :)

The Crood's family's motto is "Never Not Be Afraid." When their cave is destroyed, they've got to set out for something new. I think this is a great lesson for kids and can provide some great teaching moments after the movie.

Another Surprise!

Cinema Cafe has decided to have a regular sensory friendly event every month on the 1st Saturday morning of the month at 10:30 am. For $1.50, I think there will be a lot of families who will be able to afford to take their kiddos to the movies. Now getting everyone out of bed and to Pembroke by 10:30 on a Saturday morning, that might be tricky. ;)

Sensory Friendly Shows at Cinema Cafe mean that the lights are up, the sound is down, to offer a judgment-free space to enjoy the movies.

How to Win Tickets

If you'd like to win the tickets, leave two comments:

One on this giveaway post

We'll send the winner an email on Thursday (June 7th) at 8pm. The winner will need to respond by 10pm Thursday evening to claim the tickets. The tickets will be left in the winner's name at the box office.

Unstuck your stuck self: An Apptastic App Review

Anyone out there really, really like change?

What? No one. Yeah me, neither.

Now just like most people with ADHD, I like novelty, creativity, and a change of pace, but I don't like change that makes me uncomfortable, change that is hard, change where I don't feel in control of the situation. Here's where the Unstuck iPad App enters the picture. (Oh yeah, and it's free!)
