Happy Halloween!🎃👻

This year, we wanted to share our TOP 3 Halloween accessibility tips!

1. Explain your treats - Consider explaining the treats that you are handing out to children and place the goodies at eye level. Some trick-or-treaters may have a difficult time seeing or hearing what they are getting. Understanding what you are offering also informs children and families of any allergens

2. Choose an accessible location - When deciding where to set up your trick-or-treat station, make sure it is in an accessible and barrier-free location. You may want to hand out treats at the garage or driveway if there are barriers to your front door. Ensure that there are no decorations blocking the path and keep your station well-lit for those with low vision or mobility needs.

3. Communicate ahead of time - Let families and trick-or-treaters know beforehand of any surprises, loud noises, or other effects. Avoid using strobe lights which can trigger seizures for people with epilepsy. Loud noises and scary sound effects can be overstimulating for children with sensory processing difficulties and children with hearing-assistance devices

We at dLCV hope you all have a safe and joyful Halloween!
