Who We Are

We are excited for our eighth session of ACEing Autism in Winston-Salem, NC! Our program is led by dedicated and enthusiastic program directors who organize, lead, and oversee the six-week program every fall and spring. 

We are excited to transfer our volunteer session sign-ups to this site for our Spring 2025 session! If you are interested in participating as a volunteer, please register on this platform.  If you have any questions, please email us at winstonsalem@aceingautism.org.

 

What We Do

Trained Program Directors and volunteers lead participants through our curriculum. At the very heart, tennis is a social game that furnishes a natural opportunity to develop and reinforce skills that many children on the spectrum find a struggle: turn-taking, focus and attending, motor planning, fine and gross motor skills, and more. Our Program Directors meet athletes where they are at and progress through our curriculum at their own pace.

We offer weekly tennis clinics for children with autism between the ages of 5 and 18. Our clinics run for one hour, with sessions running for six to eight weeks at a time. Volunteers are paired up with a participant, hopefully for the duration of the session. The children in our program do not need prior tennis knowledge as our curriculum & volunteers support each child’s individual abilities and needs!
