Adaptive Programs

This program offers a six week session of clinics tailored specifically for children with autism aged 5 to 18. Our clinics provide a supportive and inclusive environment where children can learn, grow, and have fun on the tennis court. To ensure personalized attention and support, each participant is paired up with one or two volunteers based on their individual needs and strengths, allowing us to provide tailored guidance and assistance. Regardless of whether your child has a formal diagnosis or not, we welcome children of all abilities to join us at ACEing Autism and become valued members of our vibrant community.  Registration occurs through the ACEing Autism organization.
