Neurodivergent-Friendly Tips
While we love all these costumes, we also want to acknowledge that not every costume is suitable for every child.
For some kiddos, Halloween can be a lot. If that’s the case, we recommend easing into the holiday at your child’s pace. Let them choose their own costumes. Aim for comfortable, non-itchy fabrics so they feel confident and secure.
