Halloween is a time where exclusion is particularly difficult for children to understand. "All the other kids can eat their candy, why can't I?"  However, there are ways to help your child and others! You can help make this year as inclusionary as possible for all children, even those with candy allergies! Here are some hints and resources!

Here are some resources: - [**Gluten Free Candy List**](https://www.verywell.com/gluten-free-candy-list-562806) - [**Dairy Free Candy**](https://www.godairyfree.org/ask-alisa/dairy-free-candy-halloween) - [**Peanut and Tree Nut Free**](http://urbantastebud.com/peanut-free-candy-list/) - [** Allergen Free Candy**](https://www.spokin.com/food-allergy-candy-guide/list-of-top-8-free-halloween-candy/) - Offer non-candy Halloween treats. Have you heard of the Teal Pumpkin project? It raises awareness of food allergies and promotes inclusion of all trick-or-treaters.  [**Read more about the steps to participate**](https://www.foodallergy.org/education-awareness/teal-pumpkin-project/faqs#.V-qnG7UePaY)**:** [![Schedule a Free Consultation](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/3356735/2a278ea0-9be0-4aa7-9c33-cc81d17e71bc.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/3356735/2a278ea0-9be0-4aa7-9c33-cc81d17e71bc) First image courtesy of lobster20 at FreeDigitalPhotos.net Second image courtesy of Iamnee at FreeDigitalPhotos.net   ### Share: - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) [October Health: How to Survive Sweets Season](https://www.advancedneurotherapy.com/blog/october-health-how-to-survive-sweets-season) [8 Signs of Auditory Processing Disorder in Children](https://www.advancedneurotherapy.com/blog/8-signs-of-auditory-processing-disorder-in-children) ### Popular Articles [![](https://www.advancedneurotherapy.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/ID-10040107-200x300.jpg)](https://www.advancedneurotherapy.com/blog/2015/01/29/dairy-sensitive-health) [How Eliminating Dairy Changed My Life - Interview with Shayna Ross, Health Coach](https://www.advancedneurotherapy.com/blog/2015/01/29/dairy-sensitive-health) [![](https://www.advancedneurotherapy.com/hubfs/adhd-1.jpg)](https://www.advancedneurotherapy.com/blog/7-facts-about-adhd) [7 Facts About ADHD](https://www.advancedneurotherapy.com/blog/7-facts-about-adhd) [![](https://www.advancedneurotherapy.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/essentialnuts-225x300.jpg)](https://www.advancedneurotherapy.com/blog/2015/02/06/brain-function-nutrients) [6 Essential Nutrients to Promote Brain Function](https://www.advancedneurotherapy.com/blog/2015/02/06/brain-function-nutrients) [![](https://www.advancedneurotherapy.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/allergy-image-300x225.jpg)](https://www.advancedneurotherapy.com/blog/2015/08/06/food-sensitivities-allergies) [Physical and Neurological Side Effects of Food Sensitivities](https://www.advancedneurotherapy.com/blog/2015/08/06/food-sensitivities-allergies) ### Categories - [Behavioral Problems (41)](https://www.advancedneurotherapy.com/blog/topic/behavioral-problems) - [Brain Injury (10)](https://www.advancedneurotherapy.com/blog/topic/brain-injury) - [Developmental Disabilities (3)](https://www.advancedneurotherapy.com/blog/topic/developmental-disabilities) - [Health & Wellness (48)](https://www.advancedneurotherapy.com/blog/topic/health-wellness) - [Learning Disabilities (15)](https://www.advancedneurotherapy.com/blog/topic/learning-disabilities) - [Lyme Disease (7)](https://www.advancedneurotherapy.com/blog/topic/lyme-disease) - [Neurological Disorders (1)](https://www.advancedneurotherapy.com/blog/topic/neurological-disorders) - [Performance Enhancement (9)](https://www.advancedneurotherapy.com/blog/topic/performance-enhancement) - [Psychological Disorders (1)](https://www.advancedneurotherapy.com/blog/topic/psychological-disorders) - [Treatment Modalities (55)](https://www.advancedneurotherapy.com/blog/topic/treatment-modalities) ### Subscribe to Blog via Email - [RSS - Posts](https://www.advancedneurotherapy.com/blog/rss.xml) [Advanced Neurotherapy, P.C.](https://www.advancedneurotherapy.com/) ###### Neurofeedback near Boston, MA | ###### (781) 444-9115 - [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/advancedneurotherapy/) - [Pinterest](http://pinterest.com/advneurotherapy) - [Facebook](http://facebook.com/advancedneurotherapy) - [Twitter](http://twitter.com/advneurotherapy) - [Youtube](https://www.youtube.com/user/AdvancedNeurotherapy) [Proudly powered by WordPress](https://wordpress.org/) | Theme: canape by [Automattic](https://wordpress.com/themes/).
