Topic: Halloween

We’ll kick things off with a brief Halloween activity, and we’ll be joined by a speech-language pathologist to talk through sensory-friendly alternatives to celebrating Halloween. We’ve heard from several parents that trick-or-treating can be a real barrier, so we’ll share other ways to be part of the holiday that may feel more comfortable for your family.

What we’ll discuss:

• Ask questions about your QuickTalker Freestyle device, from setup to everyday use.
• Share how communication is developing at home, at school, or out in the community.
• Hear tips and ideas from other parents navigating the same journey.
