🎃 Treating our service users to a happy Halloween! 🎃
We believe Halloween can be positive if we plan ahead, adapt the environment, respect individual sensory needs, and focus on safety and predictability.
Our agency support teams are making the spooky season an enjoyable experience for the individuals they support in four easy steps:
💜 Preparing in advance with visual supports
💜 Offering safe spaces and alternative activities
💜 Being mindful of sensory triggers like noise, lights, masks and textures
💜 Remaining reactive to signs of distress with calming and grounding strategies
Some individuals love getting involved, others prefer to give it a pass, and many take part in their own way - we support them all!
