Halloween can be a little tricky for neurodivergent children, especially those on the autism spectrum. This festive activity can be impacted by challenges with communication, sensory sensitivities, and fine or gross motor skills.
At Sunshine Learning Centre, in the weeks leading up to Halloween, we support our learners who celebrate by practicing trick-or-treating! Each child takes turns approaching a door in the centre, knocking, waiting, saying “trick or treat,” choosing a peanut-free, gelatin-free, or non-edible treat, and saying “thank you.”
Throughout this program, we’ve noticed a few common challenges that some of our learners continue to work on—and that’s perfectly okay! Every child learns at their own pace. We’re sharing these observations to help our community understand how to support and include all children this Halloween.
🎃 Happy treating from all of us at Sunshine! 🍬
