- Mission: to ensure that children with a full range of learning styles and disabilities succeed academically, socially and spiritually to their fullest potential and become participants in the Jewish community.
- We provide an array of state-of-the-art educational programs, supports and resources to meet the individual needs of each child in a variety of Jewish settings, including day schools and supplemental programs.
- Through our Jewish Special Education Collaborative (JSEC) Program, Gateways enables students with special educational needs to attend and succeed in a day school environment, by providing on-site special education services that are beyond what the day schools generally offer.
- Students in participating day schools receive in-class and out of class assistance from JSEC speech-language pathologists, occupational therapists, physical therapists, behavioral and vision consultants, inclusion aides, and reading and learning specialists.
- JSEC works with students, teachers and school special education staff, to help students generalize developmental, academic and social skills and strategies to the classroom. In addition, JSEC assists teachers with curriculum modifications and provides teachers with professional development including weekly coaching.
- Through our Etgar L'Noar ("the children's challenge") Program, we provide a supplemental Jewish education for children with moderate to severe disabilities, such as autism spectrum disorder, hearing and visual impairments, developmental delay, cerebral palsy, and genetic disorders. Etgar offers a Sunday program for ages 4-16, a Bar/Bat Mitzvah class, a teen program called "Mitzvah Mensches" and a monthly program for 2-4 year olds with disabilities and their parents.
