Chuck E. Cheese Celebrates Autism Awareness Month with the Return of Sensory Sensitive Sundays

Today marks the start of Autism Awareness Month, and Chuck E. Cheese is celebrating with the return of Sensory Sensitive Sundays — a program that creates dedicated play time designed specifically for children with autism and other special sensory needs. On Sunday, April 11, all Chuck E. Cheese locations that have reopened for games will open two hours early for a systemwide Sensory Sensitive Sunday event.
Chuck E. Cheese is also launching a month-long round-up campaign benefitting Autism Speaks, allowing guests to round up their purchases to the nearest dollar and support Autism Speaks’ research and advocacy efforts.
The CDC estimates that approximately 1 in 54 children in the U.S. are diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder. Finding ways to create spaces where autistic children feel safe, seen and heard is what makes Chuck E. Cheese the ultimate place where Every Kid Can be A Kid.
