I am so thankful for this school! The director, Robin has always had an open door policy to myself and my son. My son has always been allowed to express his fears, concerns, and stuggles with Robin. She has given him wonderful advice and real life tools to help him verbally express and advocate for himself both in school and outside of school situations. She has a wonderful program that makes this special population feel successful, calm, happy and uninhibited. The teachers have such a challenge as each student is so individual in the way that they learn and their personailites, but somehow these special teachers seem to tap in to what works for each individual. They do this with much love, respect and hardwork. The moment you walk through the doors of Gateway, you feel acceptance and understanding. My son continues to grow and excel everyday. I feel Robin and her school is preparing my son for a bright future, something I wasn't always so sure about. Since attending Gateway, my son loves to go to school! Never the case in the public school system. I spend 4 hours a day transporting my son to and from Gateway. It is worth it! To see my smiling sons face every day before and after school....totally worth it!!!!
