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.

What they say about themselves

Taken from the provider's own website. We have not verified the claims — the parent reviews below are the other half of the picture.

  • Runs adaptive tennis clinics at three Houston sites — Rice University, the Forest Club on Memorial Drive and Hearthstone Country Club — in six-week weekend blocks.
  • No previous tennis experience or formal autism diagnosis is required, and each child is paired with one or two trained volunteers who stay with them through the whole clinic.
  • Session fees are published per site — $120 for the Fall 2026 Rice University and Forest Club blocks — and scholarships and self-determination funding are accepted.
  • There is no drop-in trial: families register and pay for the full session upfront, with a refund if the programme turns out not to be a good fit, and a parent must stay on site during every clinic.
