SERVING WITH HEART IN SPBC MAY 2022 - MAY 2024 Love Serving Autism

Love Serving Autism provides specialized tennis instruction to children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and to staff who work with these children. The instruction is at 4 locations in southern Palm Beach County – Boca Raton, Boynton Beach, Delray Beach and Lake Worth – under the direction of a trained professional in both tennis and autism. Tennis is combined with other therapies to help build intrapersonal and interpersonal skills such as communication, eye/hand coordination, team work and ability to follow directions. As a result, this will impact local families and their loved ones with ASD to give them the opportunity to live more productive lives.
