Joseph Pennalligen

Joseph is an active participant in our Table Tennis programme and has been involved with DSA since May 2022. Over this time, he has gained confidence and developed a strong passion for the sport. Joseph says.. "I enjoy meeting new members of the programme when they walk into the club. I also enjoy the training sessions our coach John Tuki runs. Through DSA I've made a lot of friends, learnt social skills and had the chance to help others. I've always had friends but DSA Table Tennis is like home. I like that I can be myself and everyone here accepts me. I would love to see more autistic participants give DSA Table Tennis a go."

DSA are so proud of you Joseph and all your accomplishments!
