Kids lighting up when they hit a tennis ball over the net. Volunteers cheering with high fives. Families connecting on the sidelines. That was the scene at the Baird Community Center this fall, where dozens of local children with autism and volunteers came together thanks to ACEing Autism, a national nonprofit that builds skills, confidence and community through the sport of tennis.
ACEing Autism is a non-profit organization that serves 5,000 children at more than 200 locations nationwide. Trained program directors and volunteers lead participants ages 5-21 through their curriculum in 6–8-week sessions.
