Halloween is a great time to practice inclusion + belonging!
Halloween is a great time to practice inclusion + belonging!
As good neighbors, we can make a significant difference by being mindful, offering alternatives, and most importantly, communicating with members of our communities. Here are some things to think about as you prepare for tonight's festivities:
Be inclusive: You never know who has a sensory issue that prevents them from wearing a costume, who cannot afford a costume, or who has difficulty with social communication. Kindness is the best treat when it comes to greeting kiddos at your door.
Be accessible: Stairs and long walkways may be challenging for some neighbors with limited mobility or coordination challenges. Instead, you can set up an accessible table to hand out your treats.
Be communicative: If you know your neighbors, and can get to know their needs it becomes easier to meet them. Some families have dietary considerations or sensory needs. Perhaps consider different types of treats or an alternative time for a treat pick up/drop off to reduce sensory overload or accommodate access.
