Wheelchair Costumes

Help for Special Educators

Have you seen or heard of wheelchair costumes where a child's wheelchair (or other mobility device) is turned into part of the costume? Well, it’s October 15th, and many kids have probably already planned out their Halloween costumes. But what about kids who use wheelchairs? Do they feel like they can't join in the festivities because they are in a wheelchair? Well, I believe that with a little cardboard, paint, tape, and creativity they can turn their wheelchair into part of their costume which will have all the neighborhood kids wishing they had wheels on Halloween!!

For example. Being Batman is cool, but what about Batman in his Batmobile? Getting around in a princess carriage or Hello Kitty car is pretty awesome!
