Our ROCKIN’ NEW Equipment – Climbing Mountain and Rope Bridge

Blog

For the first time since opening our doors in 2010, We Rock the Spectrum Kid’s Gym has added two NEW pieces of equipment to our gyms. We’re excited to introduce you to the Climbing Mountain and Rope Bridge! Originally featured on the We Rock on Wheels bus, these two pieces of equipment are joining our official roster of specially designed sensory equipment that we currently offer at all our gyms.

The Climbing Mountain and Rope Bridge will deliver new and exciting ways for your little one to release energy and Play With A Purpose™, a way of play designed to stimulate and exercise the seven senses. With their unique designs, both new pieces of equipment will exercise your kiddo’s sensory development by encouraging coordination and planning.

Climbing Mountain

The Climbing Mountain is perfect for all future explorers in training! This piece of equipment simulates a mountain and is perfect for enhancing your little one’s body awareness and motor planning.

As children climb the mountain, they will learn how to coordinate their hands and feet to reach the top. Through the repetitive motions of grasping-pulling-releasing, the body will exercise its motor planning skills and develop an awareness of the body’s position and movement. And through this, the balance and control of your kid’s joints and muscles will be improved.

Rope Bridge

The Rope Bridge is a great way to inspire imagination. Has your kiddo ever wondered what it’s like to cross a rope bridge hanging over lava? Now, he/she can experience it (with imaginary lava)! Designed to be a little shaky, crossing the rope bridge builds lower body strength and teaches the body balance.

The motion of placing one foot after another on these thin baseboards will activate the body’s proper response to movement and train your kid’s motor planning skills. Your kiddo will learn to exercise his/her vestibular perception of movement to avoid “falling into the lava” and make it to the other side “safe and sound”.

Sensory benefits aren’t the only reasons why our Climbing Mountain and Rope Bridge are perfect for kids. They stimulate emotional and social skills, too! Learning to share the equipment encourages positive socialization. And the sense of achievement they’ll feel from reaching the top of the mountain or crossing the bridge will boost their self-confidence and overall social health.

At We Rock the Spectrum Kid’s Gym, safety stands as one of our top priorities. That’s why we’re taking steps based on CDC guidelines to provide a safe re-opening experience for all our We Rockers. All equipment, including our new Climbing Mountain and Rope Bridge, will be sanitized with EPA-approved electrostatic spray after each use, and staff members will be required to wear masks and gloves at all times.

We are extremely excited for our We Rockers to finally experience the new Climbing Mountain and Rope Bridge in person. As restrictions ease, we will be offering private facility rental for special needs families. Give us a call at 818-708-0860  or send us an email at info@werockthespectrumkidsgym.com.

10 Things Every Special Needs Family Needs to Hear Today

Blog

In the midst of a global pandemic, many parents are trying to navigate through a new normal, including taking on the roles of teacher and daycare provider within their homes. Furthermore, parents of special needs children must find workarounds to provide the best possible care since many of the services their children need are not available right now.

While some days are better than others, even the best of parents will have bad days. With this in mind, we’ve put together a list of little reminders to provide help for special needs parents who may be having a bad day. We hope this list will help you put aside the problems you are having and focus on the joy that your child brings to the world.

1. Bad days will come to an end.

When bad days happen, it is easy to feel overwhelmed. It is easy to feel as though things will never get better. Worse, once you start letting those thoughts into your head, they have a way of taking over and making everything feel worse than it did before. Suddenly, all of the bad days come rushing back and you relitigate every decision you made in the past. In the COVID-19 era, it can be even more difficult as there is no certainty as to when things will return back to “normal”. This is the point where you have to break the cycle. Instead of thinking of all those bad days and concluding that there are simply more bad days to come, remember that those bad days ended.

When things feel overwhelmingly stressful don’t allow yourself to fall into the trap of thinking about all of the bad times. Allow yourself to remember all of the good times that came after. Know that this bad day too will come to an end.

2. It’s okay to cry.

Autism families are under a lot of pressure. When things are going poorly, that pressure can sometimes feel like too much. When that happens, it is a perfectly natural reaction to cry. When you do, you may feel guilty, as though crying means that you cannot handle the stress. What you need to remember is that we don’t cry because we can’t handle the stress, crying is one of the ways that we are designed to handle stress. Sometimes when things get to be a little too much, a good cry makes a fantastic reset button that gets you going again.

3. It’s okay to laugh.

Special needs parents can feel as though the weight of the world is on their shoulders. You have a very difficult and important responsibility; one that must be taken very seriously. It can be easy to forget under the burden of that responsibility that it is okay to laugh. Finding the humor in a stressful situation doesn’t mean that you do not take the situation seriously or that you are slacking in your responsibilities. It simply means that you are coping with that stress using the best tool that humans have at their disposal. Laughing is like a vent that releases excess steam. Without that vent, you’ll build up too much pressure and explode. Sometimes, laughter really is the best medicine.

4. It’s okay to want to take a break.

In keeping with the theme of feeling overburdened by responsibilities, it can sometimes feel as though taking a break is avoiding those responsibilities. Getting help is important for all parents, but help for autism parents is even more important. Your workload is stronger and more stress-inducing. There’s nothing wrong with taking time to recharge your batteries so that you can give your child the full attention they deserve when you come back. It may be difficult to find sources that allow you to take that much-needed break right now. Give your local We Rock the Spectrum a call for more information on the services that they have available during this time. Many of our locations are offering private facility rental and break time options for essential workers.

For our Southern California families, we can even bring the break time right to your doorstep! With the We Rock on Wheels bus, our amazing staff will bring the sensory play to you. Our bus offers many of the great amenities that our brick-and-mortar facilities have so your child will get to enjoy a similar experience as if he/she were at the We Rock gym. This includes a zip line, trampoline, rock wall, monkey bars, and much more!

5. Self-care is not selfish.

Hopefully, we’ve convinced you by now that laughing, crying, and taking a few moments to breathe every now and again is not only in your best interest but in the best interest of your child as well. Even once you’ve come to realize and embrace those truths, engaging in any meaningful self-care still may leave you feeling guilty. There is much work to be done, and your child needs a lot of attention. How can you possibly enjoy a spa night at home or solo walk with all of that work needing to get done? It’s very important that you understand that your child is important, but you are important too. Don’t feel bad for taking time for yourself, because your mental stability matters.

6. Other people’s opinions don’t matter (even when they are hurtful).

This is a message we try to teach our kids all the time. It is also one that we occasionally need reminding of ourselves. People who are not part of a special needs family have all sorts of ideas about how things are or how they should be. Most of these ideas are wrong and based on a lack of understanding about how special needs children differ from other children.

When criticisms are based on misinformation, instead of getting angry, you can view it as an opportunity to educate the person so that they do not treat others that way in the future. Just remember that it isn’t always their fault if they don’t understand something. Be patient with them so they do not put their defenses up and reject your message.

Regardless of their motivation, you cannot let the opinions of people who do not know what your life is like have a negative impact on it.

7. You are stronger than you know.

At many points, you may feel as though the pressure will one day be too much for you to handle. Every special needs parent feels like that from time to time. And they all make it through it. As long as you arm yourself with special needs tips from people who have been there before and find a trusted autism resource, such as Rocking the Spectrum with Dina Kimmel, to turn to when you aren’t sure how to overcome a problem, you will do fine. Parents of all stripes have a tremendous power to endure challenges while trying to do right by their children. Remember, you have made it this far and you will go even further!

8. You are the most important person/people in your special needs child’s life.

Special needs siblings and parents are often among the few people that a special needs child is able to fully express themselves around. This makes you the most important person in their life. The bond that you create will help both of you to get through the tough times. The love you feel for your child, and the love they give in return is a powerful weapon in the fight against whatever may try to bring you down.

9. Every parent/family makes mistakes.

Every new parent is afraid that they are going to make mistakes. This goes double for parents of special needs children. The reality is that every parent and every family member is going to make mistakes from time to time. This isn’t something that you should beat yourself up over. When you make a mistake, acknowledge that doing so is perfectly normal human behavior, learn from it, and use what you learned for the next time. Learning from these stumbling blocks is how good parents become good parents.

10. You are not alone.

When you have bad days, remember that you have friends and loved ones around you that will be there to pick you up. Just check out the Warrior Network through Rocking the Spectrum with Dina Kimmel to be part of a broad and tight-knit community of autism parents. You also have access to fantastic resources like your local autism parent support group. With the internet, you can find communities filled with parents of special needs children who may have gone through the same thing you are going through. Talking with them about how they got through something can help you better face your problems head-on.

We Rock the Spectrum Kid’s Gym, We Rock on Wheels, Rocking the Spectrum with Dina Kimmel, and our non-profit, My Brother Rocks the Spectrum Foundation have been and will continue to be there for you during this difficult time. Please contact your local WRTS with any questions, concerns, or if you just need a fellow autism parent to talk to during this time. Stay strong, We Rockers! We will get through this together.

Inclusion Awareness Month: The Importance of Screening Early

Blog

Screening for autism spectrum disorder, or ASD, is a difficult process. There are currently no medical tests to diagnose ASD. Doctors must instead rely on behavioral and developmental observations for a diagnosis. But, with a better understanding of autism and its behavioral patterns, doctors can now provide a reliable diagnosis by the time kids are 2 years old.

However, most parents still take on the “wait and see” approach, waiting until their kids are much older to screen for ASD. Delaying the autism screening process prevents children on the spectrum from getting the help they need early on and reduces the effectiveness of the following treatments. As such, screening ASD early—or as soon as they turn 2 years old—is imperative, as it maximizes the benefits of treatments while reducing the behavioral patterns of autism.

Early Signs of Autism

Here are some early signs of autism parents should look out for when determining if they should screen for ASD:

  • Lack of eye contact
  • No response to his or her name, or to the sound of a familiar voice
  • Lack of gestures, such as pointing or waving goodbye,
  • No noises to get attention
  • No initiation or response to cuddling or reach out to be picked up

Benefits of Screening Early

Detecting autism spectrum disorder should be done early on as age plays a factor in a child’s overall development. At a younger age, the brain is more receptive of environmental experiences. So, providing autism-appropriate education and support during key developmental stages will help children with special needs develop essential skills for a “normal” life when older.

Essentially, screening early leads to early action, improving the overall development of a child with ASD and sensory processing disorders by providing them with a chance of an independent life. While we do not support the notion that autism needs to be “treated”, quality early intervention can lead to improved communication, cognitive, interpersonal, and motor skills within children on the spectrum. In addition, early intervention reduces the core behavioral symptoms and problematic behaviors of autism.

An important and fun early intervention tactic is sensory play. Sensory play is any activity that stimulates a child’s senses and helps them develop thinking, language, social, emotional, and motor skills. A perfect place to engage in sensory play is at a sensory gym, like We Rock the Spectrum Kid’s Gym! At our gym, children on the spectrum Play With a Purpose™, exercising and stimulating the seven senses with our sensory-safe gym equipment. From trampolines to zip lines, our equipment provides both a targeted and holistic approach to sensory development.

Screening early doesn’t only benefit the children; parents can also benefit from early ASD identification. By being aware of it in their lives, parents with children on the spectrum will be able to learn how to best support their child mentally, emotionally and physically. They’ll also have a chance to research treatments and plan ahead.

Conclusion

Approximately 1 in 59 children is diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD). As such, take initiative and schedule a screening for your child for ASD as soon as possible in order to get the help your child needs early on. We Rock the Spectrum facilities provide the sensory-safe equipment and inclusive environment for children with autism and other alike disorders to learn and grow to their fullest potential.

How Siblings of Children with Autism are Affected

Blog

How Siblings of Children with Autism are Affected

As parents of children with Autism, we understand they require specialized care and attention. Depending upon which part of the spectrum a child falls under, the extent of the support will vary from helping them accomplish daily tasks to needing assisted care on a continual basis. Regardless of the extent of the therapy solutions, parents try anything and everything to give their children the support they need to reach their full potential.

But what about the siblings of the children with autism?

Just like how parents’ lives change when they discover their child has autism, their other children are also affected but in a much different way. Siblings have to stand by and watch, feeling helpless as their beloved brother or sister is affected by a disorder they will not fully understand until later in life. This has the potential to cause anxiety and difficulty in expressing emotions, which can lead to the siblings lashing out at their parents or brother and sister.

Parents who have children that fall into these categories are often at a loss as to how they should address the problems their children are facing. On one hand, they know their child with autism needs the added attention and Occupational, Behavioral, or Speech therapy required. On the other hand, their neurotypical children are feeling neglected and possibly left out – which is also tough on the parents.

While the sibling who has autism is receiving the care and attention they need from therapy, the neurotypical siblings finds themselves watching, almost in the shadows, while the other child receives a large part of the attention. Even though many siblings of children with autism try to understand the need their brother or sister has for the added attention, feelings of jealousy, depression, anger and resentment often arise.

This was the case in my family prior to the creation of We Rock the Spectrum Kid’s Gym. My son Gabriel, who has autism, was receiving therapy from professionals as well as utilizing a sensory gym I had set up in my own home. Prior to the in-home gym, Gabriel would receive the lion’s share of attention while my daughter Sophia often stood by and missed out on some of her own activities. Even though Sophia tried hard to understand, she stated on more than one occasion, “I wish I had autism.” This broke my heart as I immediately knew this was her way of letting me know she felt left out and alone.

I want both of my children to feel that they are perfect the way they are, which inspired me to create an in-home gym full of fun, sensory equipment for Gabriel to improve his own skills but to also give Sophia a place where she can play with her brother and friends. It wasn’t quite everything Sophia needed, but it was a step in the right direction and drove me to create and found a gym that changed my family’s lives for the better, We Rock the Spectrum Kid’s Gym.
We Rock the Spectrum not only allows children to play together, but offers a place where play dates can be arranged for a group. We did this early on with Sophia and Gabriel. He would get his necessary therapy in the gym, and she would be able to feel like a kid again and play with her friends.

Because the gym is monitored, safe, and regulated by the dynamic staff, children can make their own play dates with their own friends from school, camp, or other social groups and meet to play and have a great time. With the option to set up play dates for your children and their friends, parents no longer have to worry about telling their typically developing children they cannot have a play date because of a therapy need of their sibling with autism.

By having the ability to play together at We Rock the Spectrum, families with children who fall into both categories now have the ability to say “yes” much more often than ever before, allowing all children to play, have fun, and feel important. Benefiting the entire family, We Rock the Spectrum Kid’s Gym helps to create a more positive dynamic at home and allows children who are typically developing to feel they are receiving similar attention as their sibling with autism.

My Brother Rocks the Spectrum

My Brother Rocks the Spectrum Foundation’s mission is to assist families who need additional financial assistance for the therapy and care of their children with special needs to receive the support they deserve.

My Brother Rocks the Spectrum Foundation was created in honor of Sophia, my daughter who rocks every single day. Sophia has watched as her brother Gabriel has grown and developed from the time he was diagnosed with autism to how capable he is today. Not only have Sophia and Gabriel been the inspiration for my creation of We Rock the Spectrum Kid’s Gym, but Sophia has become a young therapist in her own right. It wasn’t always easy, but her curiosity to learn, determination to assist her brother, and desire to help others has led her to have a positive influence on many of the children at We Rock the Spectrum. Over and over again, we see children who are typically developing assisting their friends and siblings who have special needs, a dynamic that is allowed to foster and grow in our gyms by having an inclusive philosophy and gyms full of amazing parents and staff. Here is what Sophia had to say: “I feel great because I can help my brother and I can help other kids, even kids with Down Syndrome. I am not a Junior Helper any more, I am now a Coach.”

The foundation helps to fund a variety of activities at the gym for families who qualify and need the assistance, including monthly memberships and equipment. The foundation also helps families finance the personal aide some children with special needs require in order to attend a camp or activities at the gym. As the cost for a full-time or part-time aide for a child can become extremely expensive, the foundation is able to help defer some of these costs in order to allow all children to experience the benefits found at the gym through camps and play time.

Through both the We Rock the Spectrum Kid’s Gym and My Brother Rocks the Spectrum Foundation, all children, whether suffering developmental disabilities or not, are able to take full advantage of the fantastic, specially designed equipment, open play area, arts and crafts section and come away with a feeling of peace, happiness and accomplishment!

7 Ways We Rock the Spectrum Helps Children with ADHD

Blog

We created the We Rock the Spectrum Kid’s Gym (WRTS) franchise with a unique purpose: to provide children with autism and other special needs an inclusive play environment they could enjoy with their peers. At WRTS, children are able to take advantage of sensory play equipment in order to grow and develop the skills they will need later in life. Our inclusive philosophy allows children of all ability levels to play and grow together.

Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is one of the many conditions where WRTS can help children overcome challenges. Children with ADHD have trouble focusing and often times act without thinking. ADHD symptoms can range widely. These include:

  • Difficulty paying attention to details and tendency to make careless mistakes in school or other activities which produces work that is often messy and careless
  • Easily distracted by irrelevant stimuli, frequently interrupting ongoing tasks to attend to trivial noises or events that are usually ignored by others
  • Inability to sustain attention on tasks or activities
  • Difficulty finishing schoolwork or paperwork or performing tasks that require concentration
  • Frequent shifts from one uncompleted activity to another
  • Forgetfulness in daily activities (for example, missing appointments, forgetting to bring lunch)
  • Failure to complete tasks such as homework or chores
  • Frequent shifts in conversation, not listening to others, not keeping one’s mind on conversations, and not following details or rules of activities in social situations

“Children with ADHD have a hard time self-stimulating,” says Jess Lofland, owner of We Rock the Spectrum ~ Woodland Hills. “This is why the activities inside We Rock the Spectrum are so beneficial to children with ADHD. The safe, stimulating environment gives them what they cannot give themselves – a real focus. The end result is a feeling of capability that will lead to a healthier development.”

We Rock the Spectrum helps children with ADHD in a variety of ways. We’ve listed seven of these below, with an added bonus because we love you ;-)

 

 

1. Body Regulation Assistance
WRTS assists children with ADHD by helping them with body regulation assistance from the sensory equipment. The sensory equipment at WRTS is specially designed to aid children in their development. Children with all types of issues are able to positively react and grow from the use of this sensory equipment.

2. Break from School
Having a release from work after school gives these children the release their bodies need in order to focus and regulate themselves. Before starting their homework, a trip to the gym helps children with ADHD better focus later on. With the after school programs held at WRTS, children can come to the gym and enjoy some play time before diving back into their studies.

3. Compliments Occupational Therapy
Our sensory equipment is meant to compliment Occupational Therapy, not replace it. The sensory equipment offers challenges that can be left out from other therapy and helps stimulate a child’s brain and assists them in overcoming ADHD, giving parents an option that can be more beneficial in the long run than medication. The equipment offers a highly stimulating environment where focus is required. This causes the child with ADHD to narrow their focus and work to figure out various pieces of equipment on their own.

4. Social Skills Enhancement
The fourth way WRTS helps children with ADHD is to assist them with their social skills. Many times we see children with ADHD have trouble making friends or keeping them. With our inclusive approach and a dynamic staff that carries out our philosophy inside every gym, children are able to learn appropriate behaviors that can aid them in making friends while at the gym. These behaviors frequently extend to the school environment, where an increase in friends is also common.

5. Provides a Community for Children and Parents
WRTS is a community for all kids. Our inclusive approach helps children make friends with their peers and our gym becomes a place where friends can congregate together. The same is true with parents. Parents with children diagnosed with ADHD can often feel aligned or left out (which is the case with many parents whose children have been diagnosed with a disorder) and the team and parents of WRTS make up a fantastic support network of like-minded adults who have the goal of assisting their children.

6. The Comfort of “Fidget Toys”
Many children with ADHD, regardless of the severity, can benefit from having a comfort toy they can hold and maneuver in their hands while at school or at home. This helps them remain calm and focused while feeling secure and allows the skills they learn at WRTS to translate to the school environment. We supply an assortment of these toys in each We Rock the Spectrum for this very reason. The use of “fidget toys” offers the necessary distraction for the body while their minds hone in on what is being asked and instructed.

7. A Focused Approach to Creativity
The Arts and Crafts area of WRTS allows children to have a creative outlet and the ability to decompress while staying focused on the item they are creating. Allowing their hands to work and create while their mind does the guiding aids children with ADHD in their ability to focus, along with giving them a unique and new activity to participate in.

BONUS: The Guidance of the WRTS Staff
When the staff notices a child spending a great deal of time on only one activity they work to persuade them to try other things, which helps their minds continually adapt and experience stimulation from this change in activities. Our staff is always monitoring the activities going on inside the gym and will work with children that need the extra attention to grow. This helps children to be allowed to experience a variety of social interactions and which helps to meet the needs of the children with ADHD.

In conclusion, when children are provided with the stimulation from We Rock the Spectrum that they cannot get themselves, they begin to grow. This positive experience makes them feel able and capable in ways they might not feel in other social situations. A confidence is developed as a routine of success is established, and there is a real improvement in a child’s self-esteem.
