Mission Statement
Gateway to Learning’s mission is to provide lifelong learning for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities that promotes active inclusion at home, at work, and in the community.
Description
Gateway to Learning Special Education and Training Center is a 501(c) (3) entity opened in 1974 to provide appropriate academic and pre-vocational education to children with special needs.
Success led to an expansion in 1979 to include pre-vocational programs for adults with special needs. These specialized programs provide individuals with a place to develop and use their skills to enrich their lives and contribute to the surrounding community.
Gateway to Learning moved to the Lincoln Square neighborhood of northwest Chicago at 4925 North Lincoln Avenue in 1986. The building was designed and built specifically for Gateway's programs and needs.
Gateway to Learning serves adults with intellectual challenges and developmental disabilities in Chicago, IL. Through the active involvement of dedicated Life Skills Instructors and Coaches, participants receive the education and training designed specifically for them.
The hallmark of Gateway to Learning is the provision of individualized programs which meet the unique needs of each participant. These specialized programs provide adults with a place to develop and use their skills to enrich their lives and contribute to the surrounding community.
Today, Gateway to Learning serves over 100 adults with diverse abilities. Our participants represent every race and ethnic origin. Gateway to Learning serves all of Chicago and nearby suburbs.
