In this episode, I am joined by Lisa Pugliese-Lacroix, a USPTA and PTR Elite Certified Tennis Professional and a certified Speech-Language Pathologist specializing in autism.

Lisa shares her journey of combining her passion for tennis with speech therapy to benefit children and adults with autism through her unique nonprofit organization, Love Serving Autism.
