RAISING AWARENESS. This Halloween, many trick-or-treaters who are nonverbal or have autism will use a blue candy bucket to raise awareness. Children who are nonverbal often struggle with trick-or-treating because the houses they visit expect them to say “trick or treat.” The idea for the blue bucket came from a mother of a child with nonverbal autism who hopes to make Halloween easier and more fun for her son and other children. Other inclusive initiatives for Halloween include the Teal Pumpkin Project, which encourages people to provide safe non-food treats for children with food allergies. “I’ve seen a lot about [the blue buckets] on social media, which also gives me hope that things in general in our country are becoming more inclusive,” said Ms. Lydia Dogget, speech-language pathologist at SHS.

MOOD. As our moods fluctuate, so can our perception of clothes, especially the color of clothing. Power is often associated with the classic black and white, usually including red accents as well. On the other hand, relaxing days call for neutrals and pastels. Regardless, the Psychologist World suggests that “the clothes we wear send powerful signals to our peers and strangers, projecting the self image of us that we want to display.”
