MAKE HALLOWEEN MORE ACCESSIBLE

Halloween is right around the corner and if you’re handing out treats to little ghosts and goblins this year, you may want to look at how you can make the evening more accessible to the over 400,000 children in Canada that have disabilities that may prevent them from enjoying the holiday with their friends and family. Here are a few ideas to make your home more accessible. For children and families with mobility issues, it’s important to ensure your walkway and entrance are well lit and clear of any obstacles. If that’s just not possible based on the landscape of your home, consider setting your station up at the end of the driveway or sidewalk instead of at your front door. Yes, you’ll be exposed to the elements (and we all know it can get mighty chilly at the end of October) but you’ll get a good chance to interact with your neighbours as they stop by to say hello. Many children are sensitive to lights and sounds, so while Halloween décor is popular and really helps set the scene for children, consider leaving the strobe lights in the store, along with decorations with sudden, loud noises or jump scares. If you thrive on the scary, loud items, perhaps a sign warning of sudden, loud noises will help parents navigate their sensitive children to the next house. Find more ideas and inspiration online – just search for “accessible Halloween.”
