Gym That Caters to Children with Autism & Special Needs Opens in Brampton, ON, Canada

We Rock the Spectrum Kid’s Gym Will Open in Brampton on November 4, 2023

Brampton, ON, Canada – November 4, 2023: We Rock the Spectrum Kid’s Gym, an international children’s gym franchise, announces the Grand Opening of its location: We Rock the Spectrum – Brampton. The opening will be accompanied by a celebration on Saturday, November 4, 2023 at the new gym, 160 Main St S, Unit #10, Brampton, ON L6W 2E1, Canada, from 10am to 6pm.  Families with children from all walks of life will get to experience a breadth of sensory and physically beneficial activities within a safe, clean, and controlled environment.

We Rock the Spectrum is a franchise opportunity that provides sensory-safe play for kids with autism, special needs, and neurotypical development. Each gym features twelve pieces of therapeutic equipment designed to work with many of the sensory processing issues that children on the spectrum face, while providing all children with the sensory-diet necessary for improved learning and neurological development. For example, the zip line helps children with vestibular sensations and sensory feedback, while allowing them to better develop upper-arm and core strength. Each We Rock the Spectrum location offers unique classes, children’s day camp opportunities, arts and crafts, additional pieces of play equipment, and more.

An autism mom from California, Dina Kimmel, is the CEO and Founder of We Rock the Spectrum. Kimmel opened the first gym in Tarzana, California after her son was diagnosed with autism and she struggled to find a safe place where both her son and her daughter (neurotypical) could go together. The motto for all We Rock the Spectrum gyms is “Finally a place where you never have to say I’m sorry!” Under her leadership, WRTS facilities have been able to offer essential childcare for special needs families throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.

Amy & Chris Bautista and their daughter Teresa are the new owners of We Rock the Spectrum – Brampton. Amy & Chris have four children and five grandchildren. When their two grandsons Ely (Teresa’s son) and Gabriel were diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder, they felt helpless as they witnessed their parents navigate through so many questions, research, search for help, and so many other things on top of the emotional strain. As they went through the journey, they got exposed to the fact that there’s a huge and growing community of kids with differing abilities and that the struggles are real, one of which is having a place for these kids to play and learn freely in a nurturing environment.

They envision We Rock The Spectrum – Brampton as a place where both typical and atypical kids can be excited to go to on a regular basis, be it for fun play, celebrations, physical activity, creative programs, and even swimming lessons! They’re also excited to see it as a hub for parents, caregivers, and other resources.  The celebration is open to children of all abilities. Children will be able to play with all the specialized equipment, including the jumparoo, swings, and the fan-favorite zip line. It will be held at 160 Main St S, Unit #10, Brampton, ON L6W 2E1, Canada, on Saturday, November 4, 2023, from 10am to 6pm. Admission is $16 per child with treats and refreshments sponsored by My Brother Rocks the Spectrum Foundation.
