Halloween’s fast approaching on October 31st and it’s one of those special days of the year when you have gala fun time with your entire family. Halloween is especially a great day for children. It means unadulterated fun, excitement and activity for kids since they get to dress up in their favorite Halloween costume and go trick-or-treating with other kids. Along with fun, the element of scariness excites children. For disabled children Halloween is equally enjoyable. They are no different in that regard. Children with special needs find typical Halloween activities stimulating for their mind. While hosting a special Halloween party for your disabled child might be challenging, if you manage it well enough, it’s worth the effort. It’s not for the faint of heart. See how you can make Halloween special for your disabled child: • Children with disabilities shouldn’t be excluded from any fun activity. Let them be something or someone else for one day and lap up all Halloween adventure. Take your child to malls that have trick or treat hours giving out candies and other treats. • Bring creativity in your child’s costumes and everyday accessories. Nicely do up your child’s adjustable wheelchair, walking and other aids which your child will love. You can also decorate handicap items based on a special theme. • Local Halloween parades are always fun to watch. Include your child when you participate in watching such parades. This will boost self esteem for your child. • Throw a special Halloween party at your house. Arrange it indoors or outside in the lawn. Invite neighborhood children at the party. This will encourage fun and friendship for your child. You can have a special Halloween theme party like monster bash or Alice in Wonderland and include savory Halloween spreads. Your child will love the spine-chilling fun! • Local malls and other public entertainment places have various Halloween activities. There are specific activities and games for disabled children like pumpkin painting, Halloween crafts and others. Let your child soak in the fun. • Your child’s less mobility might not make it possible to go to every house in the neighborhood for trick or treat. It’s also not practical. However, there are special walking frames which give your child a chance to go out and mingle with other kids. • Dress up your child in the best Halloween costumes like princess, monster, pirate, devil, zombie, vampire or fairytale characters. There are even costumes which glow in the dark. Stay calm and let your child enjoy the fun. Take lots of photos to share. Whatever you do, make sure that your child is safe. Having a disability doesn’t mean that your child will miss out on fun. With little creativity, Halloween can be memorable for your kid!
