About Treat Accessibly

The Treat Accessibly initiative was founded in 2017 by the Padulo family after realizing their trick-or-treating setup, which involved stairs, was not accessible to a neighbor who used a wheelchair. Recognizing the need for more inclusive Halloween practices, they relocated their station and questioned how others might also make their Halloween experiences accessible. This led to the creation of Treat Accessibly, a grassroots movement aimed at ensuring all children can enjoy Halloween, regardless of their abilities. Since its inception, the initiative has grown significantly, with over 100,000 homes across Canada participating. These homes proudly display Treat Accessibly lawn signs, signaling their commitment to accessible trick-or-treating and fostering an inclusive community spirit.
