🎃 Happy Halloween, Mokena! 👻

The Mokena Police Department would like to wish everyone a fun and safe Halloween! 🧡 Trick-or-Treating hours in the Village of Mokena are 3:00 PM – 7:00 PM today.

🚸 Halloween Safety Tips:

🚦Always stay on sidewalks and use crosswalks when crossing the street.
💡Make sure costumes are bright or have reflective elements so you’re visible after dark.
🔦Carry a flashlight or glow stick.
🍬Only visit homes with porch lights on and never enter a stranger’s home.
🚙 Motorists—please drive slowly and stay alert for excited trick-or-treaters!

If you’re not participating in Trick-or-Treating, you can display a “No Tricks-or-Treats” sign on your front door or in a visible area to let families know your home isn’t taking part in tonight’s activities. 🏠

🎃 Stay safe, have fun, and enjoy the Halloween spirit responsibly!

🎃 Our Annual Halloween PSA! 🍬

Not every trick-or-treater looks or acts the same — and that’s okay! 💛

👻 If a child isn’t wearing a costume, they might have sensory sensitivities — or maybe a costume just wasn’t in the budget this year. Give them candy!

🧡 If someone doesn’t say “trick or treat,” they might be nonverbal, shy, or just doing their best. Give them candy!

💜 If a teen shows up, be glad they’re out having fun and making memories. Give them candy!

🖤 If an adult is trick-or-treating, they might be collecting for someone else — or maybe they just love Halloween as much as you do. Give them candy!

At the end of the night, it’s all about kindness, inclusion, and a little Halloween magic. 🍭✨

In ABA, practice makes progress. Repeating skills in different settings and situations helps children learn, retain, and generalize what they’ve been taught.

Every session, every trial, every little success adds up to big achievements over time. Consistency + patience = lasting change!

💚 Celebrate every small win.
💚 Progress is a journey, not a race.
💚 ABA is all about helping kids thrive, one step at a time.

Want to make ABA strategies part of your family’s daily rhythm? It’s easier than you think!

This week’s blog walks you through practical, real-life ways to bring ABA into routines you already have — like mornings, mealtimes, and play. You’ll discover small shifts that make a big impact on your child’s confidence, independence, and flexibility.

And because reflection is such a powerful tool for growth, we’ve also created a Family ABA Reflection & Planning Journal just for you. Use it to celebrate what’s working, reflect on small wins, and set simple, doable goals.

Busy? No problem. These prompts can be written down OR just thought through during life’s everyday moments.

🍝💚 Happy National Pasta Day! 💚

Pasta isn’t just delicious — it can also be a safe, fun, and easy meal for kids with autism! Many children benefit from simple, familiar foods, and pasta is perfect for sensory-friendly mealtime experiences.

Try making a “Build-Your-Own Pasta Bowl”:
✅ Choose a safe pasta shape your child loves
✅ Add favorite proteins or veggies (or keep it plain)
✅ Let your child help assemble — it’s a great way to practice independence and fine motor skills!

Mealtime can be more than just food — it’s a chance to learn, explore textures, and celebrate small wins. 🌟

What’s your child’s favorite pasta? Share below! 💚
