SEND FRIENDLY SCREENINGS coming up At ActOne cinema in Acton W3:
ActOne is glad to introduce SEND Friendly screenings. The first public show will be Toy Story 5 on July 19th, 10:30am.

https://www.actonecinema.co.uk/send-friendly-screenings

SEND Friendly Screenings are specifically designed to help persons with special education needs. Lights are left on low, volume is reduced, the audience is free to move around and the screening room is equipped with cushions and yoga mats. Additionally, these screenings will run with no pre-show, so the advertised time will reflect the starting time of the film. They encourage the audience to arrive early to familiarise themselves with the space, if they so choose to.
They aim to schedule these screenings on Sunday mornings, whenever an appropriate title is available.

Thank you, Alison, for sharing!

For parents interested in contributing to autism and anxiety related research: Kings College London are reaching out to ask if you could complete an online survey to help parents/carers whose children may have anxiety problems.
The King's College London Attune Study is testing tools designed to identify behaviours associated with anxiety in children with various communication profiles. Benefits of participating include:

· £35 in vouchers

· A confidential report summarising what your responses indicate about your child

Previous participants say these individualised reports are helpful in annual review meetings and discussions with healthcare providers, including GPs.
To participate, your child must be between 7-18 years old and have special education needs. They seek participation of families whose children do and those whose children do not have anxiety problems, as well as children who speak in full sentences or have no spoken words.
Participation involves completing an online survey at your convenience, in one or several sittings. To learn more, refer to the flyer below or email Catherine Lawton at [email protected].
