Celebrating fa-boo-lous Augmentative and Alternative Communication month!

10/16/2025

While parents of a child with a disability might already be well aware of their child’s triggers, it’s best to prepare and go into the Halloween season proactively setting them up for the most success.

🎃Trial run: Review the route in advance. Go to a neighbor’s house and practice trick-or-treating with your child before the big day. This can be especially beneficial to children who are sensitive to new situations or environments.

🎃 Take advantage of community-based activities: Does your town host a spooky arts and crafts event? Or organized trunk-or-treating event? Indoor events, or events put on during the day, could feel like a safer, more welcoming option that allows children with a disability to still enjoy all the excitement.

🎃Avoid crowded areas: They can be overwhelming or distracting for children with certain disabilities. Big groups can also make crossing the street or going up and down curbs tricky.

🎃Take breaks: All that walking can be tiring! To check in how everyone is feeling, allow time to rest by offering a candy break to your kids during your trick-or-treating journey.
