Sensory Corner: How to Choose a Halloween Costume for a Child With SPD

[Source:  North Shore Pediatric Therapy]

Halloween is a time for kids to dress up in fun costumes, however, this may be very uncomfortable for kids with Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD). Kids with SPD may find certain clothing uncomfortable due to tactile sensitivities. This may range from kid-to-kid; some kids may prefer to wear loose fitted clothing, some may prefer to wear clothes that are tight, and some kids may prefer to wear soft clothing. It is best to explore which type of clothing your child prefers prior to picking out a Halloween costume.

Once you know which type of clothing best suits your child, you can then begin to find what Halloween costume will be most comfortable for them to wear.
