Introduction: A Celebration of Fun and Friendship
Every October, the halls of On Target ABA come alive with excitement — and this year’s On Target ABA Halloween party was one to remember! 🎃👻
From Cleveland to Columbus, from Worthington to Utah, our centers were filled with laughter, creativity, and connection. It wasn’t just about costumes and candy — it was about community, confidence, and joyful learning for every child and family we serve.
At On Target ABA, we believe therapy can be both meaningful and fun — and events like this prove it. 💙
Why We Celebrate Halloween Together
Holidays can sometimes feel overwhelming for children with autism, with new sights, sounds, and routines. But when celebrated thoughtfully, they can also become powerful opportunities for social growth and emotional learning.
The On Target ABA Halloween party was designed with those goals in mind — creating a safe, sensory-friendly space where every child could participate, connect, and shine.
Our team carefully planned each activity to build skills like:
- Turn-taking through games and group play
- Communication during costume sharing and storytelling
- Social interaction through structured group activities
- Confidence in joining a community celebration
Because when kids feel safe and supported, magic happens. 🌟
🎃 Costumes, Creativity, and Smiles Everywhere
Across all our centers, themed costumes filled the day with excitement and imagination.
- In Worthington, our BCBAs, supervisees, and admin team joined the fun in creative costumes, while clients showed off their own — from superheroes to storybook characters. There was even a special “meeting of the superheroes” photo that perfectly captured the day’s spirit! 💥
- In Cleveland, families and staff turned the center into a festive mix of pumpkins, pirates, and laughter.
- Columbus celebrated with bright decorations, group photos, and fun classroom activities designed to encourage teamwork and creativity.
- And in Utah, our newest center brought the community together for its very first Halloween celebration — complete with games, crafts, and joyful smiles from every child. 🎨
Every center had its own unique touch, but the feeling was the same everywhere: connection, laughter, and belonging.
Building Social and Emotional Skills Through Play
The On Target ABA Halloween party wasn’t just fun — it was also a valuable learning opportunity.
Through costume sharing, collaborative games, and group activities, children practiced:
That’s exactly what we provide at On Target ABA — across all our locations in:
🧩 Social communication — greeting friends, taking turns, and engaging in group fun
🎭 Flexibility — adjusting to a new routine and environment
🗣️ Expressive language — describing costumes, asking questions, and storytelling
💪 Confidence — celebrating accomplishments and receiving praise
Our BCBAs and RBTs designed the event to balance excitement with structure, ensuring that every activity aligned with core ABA goals while keeping things lighthearted and inclusive.
“Events like this help our clients practice real-life skills in fun, natural ways,” said one therapist. “And seeing their smiles — that’s the best progress of all.”
The Meeting of the Superheroes
Among the many highlights of the On Target ABA Halloween party, one photo captured the heart of the day — The Meeting of the Superheroes.
Three of our young clients, dressed as their favorite heroes, came together in a spontaneous, joy-filled moment that perfectly symbolized what we’re all about: connection, courage, and community. 💙💫
It reminded us that our kids are heroes every day — learning new skills, facing new challenges, and growing stronger with every session.
How ABA Events Support Real-World Growth
At On Target ABA, we know therapy doesn’t stop at the table — it extends into every experience.
Community events like our Halloween celebration help children with autism:
- Practice social and adaptive behaviors in group settings

- Generalize therapy goals into everyday life
By celebrating milestones together, families, staff, and children all share in the joy of progress — one costume, one laugh, one small win at a time. 🌈
Families, Staff, and Clients: One Big ABA Family
Our Halloween celebrations wouldn’t have been complete without the incredible support from families. Parents joined in, took photos, and helped create a warm, welcoming environment that truly felt like home.
Our dedicated staff — from BCBAs and RBTs to supervisors and admin — went above and beyond to make sure every child felt included and celebrated. Their creativity, energy, and compassion turned a simple event into a memory that will last all year long.
“The best part wasn’t the costumes — it was seeing every child and staff member smiling together,” shared one center director.
Why Events Like This Matter
The On Target ABA Halloween party may only last a day, but its impact continues long after.
Every giggle, every “trick or treat,” every moment of connection builds emotional resilience and social understanding. It’s a reminder that therapy is not just about skills — it’s about belonging.
By blending fun and functional learning, On Target ABA continues to show that progress happens everywhere — not just in therapy rooms, but in moments of joy, community, and play.
