Keeping Halloween Fun

With Halloween right around the corner, here are some tips for keeping your evening fun and low-stress!​
  • Practice wearing costumes: Practicing early allows children to get accustomed to their costume. If you notice there are certain aspects of the costume that are uncomfortable, you’ll have time to make alterations before Halloween. Altering the costume to make it easier to remove (if needed) and/or bringing a back-up outfit can provide alternate options to keep your Halloween low-stress. ​
  • Decorate gradually: For those who are overwhelmed by sudden changes in the environment, consider keeping Halloween decor minimal or gradually decorating over a period of time.
  • Use a visual schedule, stories, or videos to explain what happens during trick-or-treating!
    • Simple trick-or-treat visual
    • Trick-or-treat Visual
    • Super Simple Songs: Knock, Knock, Trick-or-Treat?
  • Practice trick-or-treating at a familiar place: Let your neighbors know you’ll be practicing your trick-or-treating skills before Halloween. Some children may practice trick-or-treating in the hallways of their school. Seattle Children’s Autism Center will also be offering a trick-or-treat event on Saturday, October 27th from 10am to 12pm.
  • Offer other options: You and your child may decide that going trick-or-treating is not how you want to spend Halloween. Staying home to pass out candy is another great option!

Happy Halloween!
