BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – A group that helps children with autism in the Bowling Green area is now giving them a way to celebrate Halloween properly, as Cultivate Behavioral Health and Education is hosting a unique event for the kids they serve in the community: a sensory-friendly trunk or treat.
“A lot of our kiddos have some sensitivities when it comes to sensory fulfillment and stimulation. So we’ve always seen that need that there needs to be something for them that’s a little bit more inclusive. So we had one last year, but this year, we’ve opened up a new clinic. So our hope was to also open up a bigger and better trunk or treat for the community,” Katelynn Viox, Practice Manager for Cultivate BHE, says.
The idea came about when they were teaching the kids how to properly trick or treat
