The practical details
Find ACEing Autism — Houston on a map — we do not have exact coordinates for this location, so this searches by name and area.
What this is, in plain language
Adaptive tennis clinics for autistic children and teens, run in six-week blocks at three Houston-area sites — Rice University, the Forest Club and Hearthstone Country Club. Each child is paired with one or two trained volunteer buddies for the whole clinic, and no previous tennis experience or diagnosis paperwork is required.
Getting started
Register and pay online for the session block at your chosen site (each block runs about six weeks); a parent needs to stay on-site during every clinic. You can also email houston@aceingautism.org with questions, or join the mailing list to be notified when a site between sessions reopens for registration.
