ARC and Autism Society collaborate with the Elk's to bring Sense-able Movies to Schenectady. A series of three movies will be offered to families with Autism Spectrum Disorders. The movies allow for children to move in the theatre and lights remain on and sound is lowered to make the movie more sensory friendly. The first movie gave away 227 tickets to families in the Capital Region. The second movie is slated for December 10. Movie ticket information is available at www.facebook.com/senseablemovies
