  🎃 Shop Now at Etsy Making Halloween Predictable and Fun Halloween can be exciting for some children and overwhelming for others. For autistic or sensory-sensitive children, the bright lights, costumes, and sudden sounds can feel confusing or even scary. Predictability helps them feel safe, and one of the best ways to do that is through visual supports. That is why I created the  When Halloween Feels Too Scary  social story. It gently explains what Halloween is, what children might see or hear, and how to stay calm and comfortable during the celebration. A Calm Story for Visual Learners This story is designed especially for toddlers and preschoolers who learn best through visuals. It uses simple words and soft illustrations to prepare children for new experiences like putting on a costume, hearing trick-or-treaters at the door, and collecting candy with family or friends. It includes both  US Letter size  and  Half-Page Booklet  version...

For autistic children, the world can sometimes feel unpredictable or overwhelming. Visual tools help make daily life easier to follow.

Many young children struggle when the world feels too loud. The classroom, daycare, or even family gatherings can sometimes overwhelm a child who is sensitive to sound. Instead of knowing what to do, they may cry, cover their ears, or withdraw. This is where a social story makes a big difference.
