   Hosting alternative events like Vocabulary Parades where students dress up as words instead of Halloween characters
3. 3
   Planning generic fall or winter parties instead of holiday-specific celebrations
4. 4
   Consulting the student's family about planned activities to ensure they are comfortable
5. 5
   Replacing specific holiday crafts with general winter-themed activities
