About
ACEing Autism - Dallas is a (501C3) nonprofit organization that offers weekly tennis lessons for children and adults on the autistic spectrum. Each student works one-on-one with 1-2 volunteer instructors. The program uses the game of tennis to improve gross and small-motor skills, hand-eye coordination, communications, social skills, and self-esteem.
Clinics are held Saturday mornings on the tennis courts at UT Dallas in Richardson. We run 3 seasons a year:
- Fall (mid/late Sept - mid November): 8 weeks in duration
- Spring (mid/late Feb - mid April): 8 weeks in duration
- Summer (June - mid July): 6 weeks in duration
Volunteers earn 3.5 hours of community service for each Saturday session.
