Halloween is approaching and I don’t know about you, but I am loving coming up with my session plans this month.

If you’ve read my blog posts in the past, you know I love a good themed session plan.

Halloween is especially fun because there are so many interesting characters to incorporate (witches, ghosts, and goblins), themes to create songs about (costumes, trick-or-treating, and pumpkins) and so many ways you can address sensory needs (using cobwebs, glow in the dark lanterns, and my favorite – those cinnamon scented broom sticks!)

If you’re in need of some new Halloween intervention ideas for your sessions with kids and teens, check out the following posts:
