Adaptive Learning Program
An Adaptive Learning program has always been on the radar for PRTF. That dream has now become a reality with the newly formed partnership between Academy for Autism and Posh Rock Tennis Foundation. Academy for Autism began transporting two groups of fifteen students to Ft. Gatlin Tennis Center every Friday on November 1, 2019. PRTF in turn provides over 10 qualified tennis pros to teach
these uniquely talented athletes.Over time, some of these athletes have joined our Special Olympics Florida Orange County group. The hope is to get as many athletes involved in not only Special Olympics practices, but future competitions such as the Area Games.
