SPIRIT Wake Forest will host a private screening of "The Marvels" (PG-13) for individuals with sensory sensitivities.
Open to people of all ages, Sensory-Friendly Movie Night will allow for stimming, pacing, and other sensory needs. In addition, SPIRIT Wake Forest will provide sound-canceling headphones and fidgets for those who need them, and the volume will be reduced for maximum enjoyment.
"We are committed to ensuring that everyone in our community can experience the joy of cinema," said Specialized Programs & Inclusion Specialist Olivia Atkinson. "We understand that for some individuals and families, the traditional movie experience can be overwhelming. That's why we've created this sensory-friendly event to provide a safe and accepting space for all moviegoers."
