Accessible Halloween Costumes for Inclusive Fun

Halloween is right around the corner, and if your children want last-minute adaptive costumes, here are some great resources!

Sometimes the perfect costume is in the simplest place, like Target. Their results for accessible costumes can be filtered by features, characters, types of costume, and other options. You can order your costume for same-day pickup at a nearby store and get it in a flash.

Target’s toddler unicorn jumper has detachable elements to customize it, abdominal access, and wheelchair attachments. It also snaps at the shoulder and zips along the side for an easy costume change! Another option is Target’s kid’s construction worker costume. The fabrics are designed for comfort, and the outfit hooks easily to a wheelchair.

Target also has some accessible costume options f0r adults, such as a racecar driver or a medieval princess.

If Target doesn’t have what you’re looking for, HalloweenCostumes.com has more options in their kids’ section. This article from Mat Oliver details the various features that help make costumes accessible and suit every trick-or-treater’s unique needs.

We hope your Halloween is fun and safe for all!

I’m Joan, and I know home care from the inside out. I’ve navigated my daughter through 24/7 home care nursing and managed her PCA’s. I’ve helped my parents move into (and out of) assisted living, Medicare episodes, skilled nurse visits, home health aids, and PCAs. Sandwiched in all of that, I’ve helped coordinate home care equipment and supplies, physical therapists, occupational therapists, county workers, and medications (oh, the medications). I know emergency departments, children’s hospitals, cancer wards, cardiac floors, and specialty units. I can recite health insurance policies (and call their bluff). I know a lot of other things in life too, like Shakespeare, where to sit to see a great sunset over a lake, how to keep myself healthy, how to read a profit/loss statement and state statutes, when to use a comma, and that gratitude is one of the keys to success. So I’m going to have this blog and write about home care from time to time. I’ll include topics like current legislation, professional boundaries in a tricky environment, and being a caregiver. I’ll also post some guest blogs from clients and nurses. Join me in the conversation.
