We Rock The Spectrum - North Orlando is locally owned and operated by Kaela Cromer and Lori Cromer. Being a single mom requires a village to be successful and she has her amazing family and friends by her side. Kaela and Abigail love to spend a day at Disney World chatting with the princesses or hanging out poolside at home with their dog Maui and cat Merlin. Professionally, Kaela is a Certified S
chool Counselor who graduated from the University of Central Florida in Orlando with both her Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology (2006) and Master of Arts degree in Counselor Education (2010). She has been an educator in the Central Florida area for over ten years and most of her career has been especially working with children diagnosed with a wide range of disabilities and their families. She has helped families navigate the educational models of special education and continues to be a strong advocate for her students. Kaela has realized that the school community is a vital part of a family’s village, but its resources and support only go so far. Through her research, Kaela stumbled upon We Rock the Spectrum a few years ago and has dreamed of bringing this amazing community resource to the Orlando area ever since. She called upon her village once again and her family and friends rallied around her for support. Lori, Kaela’s mom, signed on as her business partner when she realized that there is an incredible need for sensory gyms in today’s world. Lori is a wife to Steve of 40 years, mom to three grown children, and Yia-yia to four grandchildren (and counting). She is a native Floridian who has worked in the medical field her entire career. She continues to build strong community partnerships and is quickly becoming an amazing advocate for sensory play. Kaela and her family truly believe that their individual paths have led to them to this shared point where they have been called upon to serve the Orlando community. They believe in equal access and inclusion for all children. They cannot wait to start ROCKIN’ Orlando!
