In celebration of Autism awareness month, Girasol was able to provide over 145 individuals with the opportunity to enjoy a family friendly, sensory friendly experience.

In addition, Girasol provided over 35 families with a sensory friendly movie experience. With many of those families feeling seen and supported at an event that was made exclusively with their needs in mind.

“This was a perfect first event to take my son to as we have not been able to take him many places due to eloping or being overwhelmed easily and he did great and loved it all!”

“It was an experience I believe others should have. It made me feel better to take my son out and not be afraid of him being different.”

“It was overall a positive experience that my family truly enjoyed and look forward to joining again in the future. We felt very comfortable, especially considering one of our children does not sit through an entire showing.. She instead likes to walk and dance around, and even through the hyperactivity, Girasol provided a safe place where my children and others could be themselves freely, all while enjoying watching a movie. 10/10 experience!”

“I loved that I didn't feel as anxious having my youngest in the movie. It was his 3rd movie 2nd time with it being a special showing for autistic children. But he lasted through the whole movie. Ans you guys were so accommodating with the seating in the handicap aisle. We choose that spot so if he stands on his chair it's less disruptive. But overall it was an amazing experience.”
