Love Serving Autism (LSA) was founded with the mission of enriching the lives of individuals with autism and unique abilities through the lifelong sport of tennis. The first LSA tennis program began at The Palm Beach School for Autism in Lake Worth, Florida, created by Lisa Pugliese-LaCroix, a speech-language pathologist and tennis professional who recognized the powerful connection between movement, communication, and social development. What started as a single program quickly grew as families and communities embraced its impact, leading to expansion across Palm Beach County.
