Halloween can be a challenging time for some individuals and families. The bright lights, loud noises, having to say "trick or treat" -- what if you're non-verbal -- the social cues, changes in routine, and costumes that may be uncomfortable for sensory reasons. The Portage County Board of Developmental Disabilities invites us to trick-or-treat with us at our Happy Day Services Building in a supportive, inclusive, and accessible environment.  Wear a costume or not!  Say trick-or-treat or not!  We welcome you for YOU!
