Halloween is all about dressing up as scary, ghoulish, funny characters knocking on the doors of neighbors and friends, collecting treats and relishing in the fun. However, I always think about how we can create a safe and fun Halloween.

So if you and your child are going out Trick or Treating, think about …

Ryan’s first Halloween.

Our Halloween week is already in full swing. Ryan can’t wait to go a haunted house this evening. It’s his favorite Halloween celebration. Tomorrow I’ll be attending our Halloween parade. There will be over 150 children dressed in elaborate costumes walking through the halls of Barber National Institute. Pictures will be posted on the Barber National Institute’s Facebook page.

I have also included two links for Halloween Social Stories.

• Trick or Treat – Halloween Trick or Treat Social Story
• Going Trick or Treating

I wish you a safe and happy Halloween.
