“Sensory Friendly Halloween Costume Tips & Tricks”

From Cassie Mattia and the Butler County Board of Developmental Disabilities…

With Trick-or-Treat right around the corner we thought it would be the perfect time to release a “Sensory Friendly Halloween Costume Tips & Tricks” Guide so that your child or loved one can enjoy the big night comfortably! Trick-or-Treating can be full of sensory triggers so making sure you take the time to prepare in advance with your child or loved one will ensure a night full of Halloween fun!

We included where you can find sensory and adaptive friendly costumes too! All you have to do is go to the businesses’ websites that we included and in the search engine type in “adaptive costumes!”

The Candy Police were a great success last night!
It was that spooky time of year again when all the little ghouls and goblins were running amuck in search of the best candy! Well, thankfully the Candy Police were back and ready to make sure everyone was able to enjoy Trick-or-Treating in Loveland.

The Loveland Police Department and the Hamilton Township Police Department worked together last night to bring joy and of course candy to any kids or adults with special needs who couldn’t physically go trick-or-treating.

Both police departments said that they wanted to make sure Halloween was a special day for not just the kids with special needs but the adults as well!

Thank you everyone who donated! Thank you to the officers who serve us so faithfully.

A message from the Loveland Police Department

The Candy Police was a great success last night!!
Officer Hayslip, Officer Smith and I want to thank the kids & adults with special needs and their parents for sharing their Halloween night with us!
As a father and grandfather of kids with special needs, it was such a joy to include them. We can’t wait to see you again next year!
A huge thanks to Officers Molly Hayslip and Rich Smith from Hamilton Township Police Department for making this successful!
Thank you also to everyone that donated candy, especially Loveland Striped Might Robotics and the Cincinnati Elite Girls 2009 Soccer Team!
