Happy Halloween 2025! πŸŽƒ Tips for a Magical Night πŸ’™


Dear Reader

Happy Halloween from the AutismCOE team!

We want to help make this special night joyful and inclusive for every child. If you're heading out for treats, please keep an eye out for the Blue Pumpkin!

The blue pumpkin is a friendly way to signal that a trick-or-treater may have autism or be non-verbal. It's a reminder for all of us to be extra patient, kind, and understanding.

Inside this quick guide, we've shared our top 4 easy tips to prepare for a successful and sensory-friendly evening.

Wishing your family a fun, safe, and wonderfully accepting Halloween 2025!

πŸ‘» Create treasured moments, not spooky ones! πŸ‘»

With a little creativity, Halloween can be a time of joy for every child.

At AutismCOE, we are committed to providing exceptional Early Intervention Program, School Readiness Program, and ABA Therapy that unlock each child's potential and empower families.
