Angels from Heaven Brought Down to Earth to Change Our Lives Forever….

Blog, Classes and Fitness, Mommy’s Worries, Recent Events

This is a photo of our son Gabriel trying to help teach his new friend Destine how to swim. If one was to tell me 2 years ago I would be looking at this photo and reflecting on this precious moment, I would tell them it was a dream. Gabriel was diagnosed with Autism back in 2009 and could not learn how to swim until he was 5 years old. It took him to 5 different instructors before we found the angel that broke through his barriers (Mrs.Daniella Stark). Destine, his new friend, has Autism as well and to witness such love and compassion from my child has me crying as I am writing this to all of you. These moments in life stop me and thank God that I have a child with Autism. What I have learned and continue to learn from our Autism Angels is true love, compassion, devotion, patience, tolerance, and a daily reminder to never underestimate a child.

Meet my mentor in life….. Marvin Kimmel! Always pay it forward my fellow We Rocker!!!

Blog, Social Skills Groups

Above is a photo of Marvin Kimmel, my children’s great grandfather and myself Dina Kimmel Founder and Ceo of WRTS, LLC at Boca Raton’s Grand Opening in April. He surprised me at the Grand Opening in Boca and I was so overwhelmed with emotion, I couldn’t stop crying. He brought me his wife’s Marilyn’s pearls as an opening good luck gift and that it was, the largest Grand Opening thus far in WRTS. When I first saw him as he walked through the door (that is the photo above) I knew a huge part of the reason I was there and opening my first nationwide franchise was due to him and the extraordinary example this man has been in my life. Marvin became successful in business many years ago by “hard work”. There is no way around it, he would tell me. As I have been on my We Rock journey, he and his wife Marilyn have been my biggest fans. They have always treated me like I was their granddaughter. Due to Marvin and his son (my father-in-law) Bob’s financial and emotional support, their grandson and great grandson is now high functioning. We were able to build We Rock in our home 5 years ago and now…… well we are paying it forward and working our hardest to have every child benefit from a daily sensory diet. Thank you to my mentors Marvin, Marilyn. Bob and Pat Kimmel for making We Rock the Spectrum possible to not only help our Gabriel but ALL the children worldwide.

We Rock The Spectrum: Exercise, Social Skills & Sensory Experiences for All Kids

Blog, Mommy’s Worries

Dina Kimmel studied Business at CSUN, but it is her mother’s intuition combined with her entrepreneurial spirit that led to the creation of We Rock The Spectrum Kid’s Gym. After her second child Gabriel was diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder, Dina began to research ways to facilitate her son’s development. Dina found that with early intervention many children were making significant improvements. This led her to create a sensory gym in her own home. Gabriel thrived and at the same time her older daughter Sophia enjoyed playing on the equipment. This provided the family joy and relief at the same time. “One of the biggest challenges when you have a child with any disability is that often all of your focus lands on them and the other siblings feel neglected or deprived”. The fact that both of her children were being entertained at the same time was a fantastic outcome.This was the beginning of We Rock the Spectrum Kid’s Gym, “Finally a place where you never have to say I’m sorry”.
