NJ DCFS - Ocean County

Rocco is a young boy who embraces each day to the fullest. Although he had a challenging start in life, his grandmother stepped in to support him. Rocco lives with his grandmother and younger sister. He loves the movie "Polar Express," enjoys playing with squishmallows, and rides his Roblox bike whenever the weather is nice. Rocco is on the autism spectrum, but he doesn’t let that hold him back. He takes each day one step at a time and relies on his support system at home and at school when he needs it.

Rocco's family recently discovered a new gym called We Rock the Spectrum, which features some of Rocco's favorite swings and trampolines that are safe and suitable for his needs. He also enjoys the gym because he can have fun there with his younger sister. While Rocco typically likes to visit parks on weekends, the cold weather has made the gym a wonderful alternative for him to enjoy.
