This Halloween, keep an eye out for children carrying blue buckets! These buckets may signify children with autism. Help to create a more inclusive and understanding environment for all trick-or-treaters. Also, some of our non-verbal friends have been practicing to use their PECs (Picture Exchange Communication System) cards on Halloween night.  Let's make Halloween a fun and safe experience for everyone! Remember, a smile and a little extra patience can make a world of difference.
