Over 1 in 10 school-age children in Canada and the United States identify as having one or more disabilities, facing barriers that can prevent them from being included in the joy of trick or treating alongside millions of parents, siblings, caregivers, and friends. 

Our grassroots movement began at our family’s home in 2017, driven by our daughter's passion for inclusion in support of all disabilities. From one sign at our home, the movement has spread to over 250,000 homes already. Any home can Treat Accessibly and join the movement.

Treat Accessibly Halloween Villages create a curb-side accessible trick or treating experience so that any child of any ability can experience a traditional Halloween.

Villages are scheduled during the day in the weeks prior to Halloween to make it easier for parents and caregivers to plan and organize.

Registration is now open for our 2025 Villages!

How did Treat Accessibility start, and how do you do it?

Our 6-year-old daughter noticed a little boy using a wheelchair when she was putting pumpkins on our stairs and realized our house and all the houses on our street excluded him because they all had stairs. So that night she made a lawn sign that said Accessible Trick-or-Treating and planted it in the lawn a week before Halloween.

On Halloween night, instead of trick-or-treating, she set up an Accessible Treat Station Table at the end of our driveway and stood at it with her parents. Greeting all the trick-or-treaters and parents from the driveway. Every one of them asked what the sign meant, and once she shared it, every parent and child understood.  But that night, 7 families came because they had seen or heard about the sign.

 

Every family had a child who had either a mobility, sensory or neurological disability.  Every family thanked Siena and her parents, saying how no one has ever done this before, and putting out the lawn sign and being accessible like this makes a huge difference and helps all their kids feel included in different ways.

 

Since that first sign and accessible trick-or-treating station, over 300,000 homes across Canada have joined the movement to make Halloween night the greatest single act of neighbourhood inclusion for kids with disabilities this nation and even the world has ever witnessed. Thank you for learning more about our story and the movement.
