We Rock The Spectrum gym in Grayson creates an inclusive place where every child can play, belong and thrive

There’s a reason Yusra Syed Lee and her husband Noel opened We Rock The Spectrum kid’s gym in Grayson. The California-based We Rock The Spectrum is an indoor inclusive sensory play gym, created for neurodiverse children. There are some 200 franchises in the United States, Canada and abroad. The couple – parents to three daughters, one on the autism spectrum – opened the facility on Grayson Industrial Parkway in early September. “We started this journey thinking about our own kids and how the world is not so kind towards kids with needs and families who cater to kids with needs,” said Yusra. “There aren’t a lot of spaces that welcome those families. And we were wondering if there was a spot for kids and families like ours. “One-stop shops like this didn’t exist because if they did, we’d be taking our kids there instead of building one.” Yusra, who works as a speech therapist at Emory Decatur Hospital, said that the 17,200-square-foot We Rock The Spectrum in Grayson represents the company’s largest footprint. She added that in a slice of the building – 6,200-square feet – there’s room for birthday parties, camp activities, an in-house sensory-friendly salon and barber shop
