The Autism Clinic at Hope

🧡 Today, we’re especially thankful for the children who inspire us every single day — and the families who trust us to walk alongside them.

This year, we've seen so many little wins that mean the world: first words, first friendships, and so many high-fives, hugs, and happy dances in our therapy rooms.

To every parent, therapist, and tiny learner who makes The Autism Clinic feel like a second home: thank you. We are grateful for you.

🍂 Wishing your family a warm and joyful .

🎃 Happy Halloween from The Autism Clinic at Hope! 🧡 Our Creve Coeur clinic was really getting into the spirit of things!

If you're handing out candy tonight, here are two simple ways to help make trick-or-treating more inclusive for all kids:

👻 Be patient. Some kids might not say “trick or treat” or “thank you” out loud — and that’s okay. A smile, a gesture, or just showing up in costume is worth celebrating.

🍬 Offer non-food treats. Stickers, glow sticks, or small toys are a great option for kids with food allergies or sensory sensitivities.

With a little kindness and flexibility, we can help every child feel welcome tonight. 🎃✨
