About We Rock the Spectrum Knoxville
We are the Longcrier Family – Marcus, Rachel, Sawyer Ann and Gentry. While both Marcus and Rachel are originally from upper East TN (Erwin & Bristol, respectively) we have proudly called Knoxville home since 2009 – GO VOLS!
We’ve personally been through our own journey with sensory-related challenges, leading us to research and seek out specialized support. Along the way we learned about the WRTS location in Rachel’s hometown of Bristol. We quickly figured out this was something the Knoxville community needed… and the rest is history. Our goal is to create a welcoming and inclusive environment for children of ALL abilities. We’re thrilled to be able to bring this to our community and can’t wait to welcome your families!
