Indiana Resource Center for Autism - Indiana University Great collaboration for families! Kerasotes Theatres and Indiana Resource Center for Autism hosted its first All Star Saturdays Film Event today at Kerasotes ShowPlace East 11 Theatre for families with autism and other disabilities. This event was prompted by a local parent who wanted to go to the movies with her son... who has autism and believed other families in the community would enjoy this too. Environmental changes (lights up, sound down, etc.) provided a sensory-friendly atmosphere for families to enjoy a movie together. Many thanks to the staff and management of Kerasotes ShowPlace East 11 Theatre and volunteers who contributed to this wonderful event.
