We Rock The Spectrum - Colorado Springs

About

Reviewers here list rooms rather than equipment, which tells you what sort of place this is. A calm-down room done out with a space theme, a reading room, a separate infant area, a play kitchen. There is a massage chair for whoever brought them. One visitor noticed that the ceiling lights had been covered to soften the glare and wrote it down, which is not a detail anybody records unless somebody clearly thought about it. The gym kit is the franchise's standard sensory set, and the swing that carries a child across the room on a line is the piece every review reaches for.

It is not an autism-only room and families say so from both directions, parents of twins on the spectrum and parents of children with no diagnosis describing the same visit working. Birthdays get booked at a few days' notice and come with themes to choose from; the host decorates, supplies the extras and clears up, and the family who run the gym come up in review after review for carrying the whole thing.

Settle one question before you go: what else is running on the floor. Over the summer the gym operates a drop-off program, and two reviewers three days apart describe the same scene from it — a group of children on the equipment with nobody obviously watching, in a room still open to drop-in families. Those two also found broken toys and a floor that wanted sweeping, and a third said the same months earlier, though more reviewers call it clean than don't. Ask what is booked on the day. That goes double if your child is small.
