Halloween is a really fun time…for most kiddos. But for those having difficulty with communicating, trick-or-treating can be very difficult task and so stressful that some will exclude themselves from enjoying such an activity. We truly believe that although we all may have differences these are simply that and we must find different ways to include all children that would like to participate. One of our therapists came up with this simple craft you can do at home WITH your child to help give him/her a voice to be included in trick-or-treating.
Some will be able to hold the sign themselves and turn it and other kiddos may need your assistance. Their level of ability is their own, give them support if they need it, but also encourage them to find independence. Let’s empower our kiddos to participate in this fun social activity if they choose to. This is a great activity and idea for anyone with difficulty communicating including children with Autism Spectrum Disorder, Childhood Apraxia of Speech, expressive language impairment, Dysarthria, or even an articulation impairment. Feel free to share with your friends… print, color, personalize, practice, and trick-or-treat! Happy Halloween!
