mothers of children with special needs

The Mothers of Children with Special Needs ("MOCWSN") is a WMF subgroup for moms who identify as having a child with special needs, in whatever way that means to them. Some moms in this group have kids who are receiving early intervention, some are wondering whether their child would benefit from an evaluation, some have kids with an ADHD or autism diagnosis, some have a child with a genetic diagnosis, and everything in between. All are welcome! We provide support to each other through organized events, our WhatsApp group chats, and informal sharing of personal experiences and resources.

    Kick off the new year with the Mothers of Children with Special Needs Subgroup for 2 hours of private open play at We Rock the Spectrum.

    We Rock the Spectrum is a sensory based indoor gym committed to providing a fun, safe, and welcoming environment for ALL kids. During Open Play, kids have full run of the gym, including swings, crash mats, trampolines, tunnels, and the zip line, as well as fine motor toys and an arts & crafts area with chalkboard.

    WMF has rented out the facility for the afternoon. Family members, including dads and other caregivers, are welcome to attend. We recommend this event for children ages 2 and up, though all are welcome. We will provide nut-free snacks and drinks.

    The cost is $22 per child (infants under 1 year old are free), which is discounted from the regular open play price. Please list each child and their age in your registration information. Please also add each child over age 1 as a guest. Adults are free. 

    Nicole Katz, Mothers of Children with Special Needs Subgroup Leader & Jackie Brennan and Elizabeth Anderson, Kids Events Directors

    Please note that we cannot generally issue refunds for cancellations made less than 7 days prior to an event. Please email if you have extenuating circumstances. 

    We recommend this event for kids ages 2 and up, though all are welcome. A parent or guardian must accompany children at all times. No shoes are allowed on the gym floor. Grip socks are required for all children, which are available to purchase. Adults must wear socks. 

    We Rock the Spectrum is a WMF Merchant Discount Program partner--offering WMF members 10% off one time drop in rate or all day pass.
