WIN All Else Fails is a Houston-based non-profit organization that supports families, parents, and caregivers of children with special needs, autism, and developmental disabilities by offering inclusive community events, sensory-friendly activities, and safety training.
With support from a small grant, Win All Else Fails coordinated their Sensory-Friendly Movie Screenings, giving children with sensory needs and their families a welcoming, judgment-free space to enjoy a movie together.
