Accessible Halloween Tips 🎃

Halloween should be fun for everyone! Here are a few ways to make the holiday safer and more inclusive for children and families with disabilities:

✅ Keep pathways clear and well-lit for easier mobility.
✅ Offer non-food treats for kids with allergies or dietary needs.
✅ Use sensory-friendly decorations and sounds to avoid overwhelming environments.
✅ Communicate costume plans with your child ahead of time for comfort.
✅ Consider trunk-or-treat or indoor events for easier access.

Let’s work together to make this Halloween safe, inclusive, and enjoyable for all! 🧡

DID YOU KNOW...

Curbs cuts were originally created in the mid-20th century to improve mobility for wheelchair users and others with physical disabilities. ♿

Today, they benefit everyone! From parents with strollers, to delivery workers, to travelers with luggage.

That’s the power of inclusive design. ✨
