Halloween is full of fun—but it can also bring unique challenges, especially for children who are neurodiverse. Costumes, loud sounds, bright lights, and changes in routine can sometimes feel overwhelming.
Let’s celebrate in ways that honor every child’s strengths and needs—because all kids deserve to enjoy the magic of Halloween!
How to Help:
🧡 Choose soft, comfortable costumes and consider supports like noise-reducing headphones, glow sticks, or weighted vests.
🧡 Practice ahead—play dress up and rehearse trick-or-treating together.
🧡 Use visual schedules, social stories, and flexible traditions to prepare your child at their comfort level.
BONUS! Creating an inclusive environment not only prepares and sets your child up for success, but also works on motor planning, coordination, sensory integration, confidence, and social skills—all while having fun with the spirit of the season.
