Discover what’s possible when relationships are strengthened by listening. 

Vanessa Lista's autistic older brother, Billy, has been her inspiration her whole life. Currently studying kinesiology and psychology in college, Vanessa’s goal is to become a pediatric physical therapist.

  • How Vanessa’s relationship with her brother has evolved over the years
  • Why she admires Billy
  • How she’s been advocating for him from a young age
  • Her experiences as a behavior therapist
  • What physical therapy is and example goals that can be targeted
  • Advice to other siblings of autistic individuals
