It’s October—time for Trunk-or-Treating, Harvest Festivals, and more!

There are other occasions throughout the year, like birthday parties and cosplay conventions, where you can dress up to be whoever or whatever you choose.

But, for kids with disabilities, it’s not always that simple to find a costume. Thankfully, there are some wonderful costume options that are festive, fun, and most importantly, adaptive!

Check out these seven adaptive costume options that we love for any occasion!
