Autism SoCal Spotlight 2025

Autism Alliance SoCal is grateful to Joel Dacay, Pickleball Coach at the Burbank Tennis Center, for bringing the exciting sport of pickleball to our Social Skills Workshop Series, led by therapist Andy Jung, MFT.

Through Joel’s sport guidance and Andy Jung's social skills training expertise, teens and young adults on the autism spectrum are learning not only the fundamentals of pickleball but also teamwork, communication, and friendship-building skills. His in-kind support and passion for teaching is making a tremendous difference.
