Our first stop is a unique indoor kids gym called We Rock the Spectrum. It's where fun knows no bounds.
"This is an amazing place for all types of kids with all types of abilities," Owner Ana Bourdon said, "if you have a kid that is neurodivergent and have a kid that's neurotypical, they both can play together."
The local sensory playground offers a safe space for kids to build on skills.
"Whether they're playing with the trains, they're jumping on the trampoline, or they're climbing, I find that they're getting more confident as we come each visit," parent Susie Wong-Benjamin said.
It is buzzing with movement and moments for kids to learn and understand beyond what meets the eye.
"This space is a necessity for exposure for the neurotypical and the neurodivergent," parent Shaniqua Miller said, "being that I have two children on both sides of it, this space caters to both their needs."
In the calming room, kids can pick a book, decompress and of course explore the senses.
Speaking of senses, down the road from this gym is where you can get a taste of two sides of the world in one place.
