                                            🎃👻 Halloween is almost here—and while costumes and candy bring excitement, trick-or-treating can sometimes feel overwhelming for children with special needs. At Ascent, we love celebrating the fun while also keeping comfort and inclusion in mind! 💙
Here are a few tips to make your Halloween extra sweet:
🍬 Try a practice run before the big night
🧡 Choose a costume that’s comfy and sensory-friendly
👻 Bring along familiar items (like headphones or a favorite toy) for support
✨ Remember—it’s okay if your child participates in their own unique way!
Many communities also offer inclusive fall festivals, trunk-or-treats, and sensory-friendly Halloween events 🏠🎃—great opportunities to enjoy the spirit of the holiday without the pressure of traditional door-to-door trick-or-treating.
No matter how you celebrate, the goal is simple: fun, not stress. Wishing all of our families a safe, magical, and inclusive Halloween! 🦇🍭
