History

Established in 2014.

We Rock the Spectrum Berkeley is described as a «full inclusion, full integration educational fitness camp and community resource center» that addresses children’s, parents’, caregivers’ and advocates’ wellness and health. Co-​founder of the Berkeley branch Barbara Brodrick tells us the inspiration for the new venture was her 4-​year-​old son, who is on the autism spectrum and has benefited enormously from intensive early intervention treatment. We built this 10,000 SF facility to have all the resources available to all families with different-​abilities children, and a safe fun place for all children and families where we can all feel a sense of belonging, away from the isolated feeling most of us feel. We strongly believe in the full inclusion model because it was not a good feeling as a parent to see my child not be included in any playgrounds where he would be safe & accepted. I am a huge children’s advocate, no bullying advocate and firm believer all children have greatness in them.
