"Studio Movie Grill is pleased to offer regular Special Needs Screenings for families raising children with special needs, and thanks to its partnership with Variety the Children’s Charity of Texas & Land-O-Lake has been able to present these screenings free to all children for the past 5 years. The program gives these special families an opportunity to enjoy a family-friendly feature in a safe and warm environment. Auditoriums are adjusted with lights a little brighter, sound a little softer and no one minds if audience members dance, sing, shout or walk about during the movie and families can feel relaxed and comfortable enjoying the movie experience together.

One of our managers had two children with autism and it was he, along with staff members, who helped us to recognize that indeed some families raising children with special needs have never felt comfortable taking their whole family to a movie because they did not want to cause a disturbance for other patrons. At SMG Special Needs Screenings that concern is taken away and everyone can enjoy their favorite movie in a relaxed and accepting environment—sometimes for the first time.

Studio Movie Grill is proud to offer these screenings and to be making a difference in the community."
