Gatesway is a non-profit Oklahoma agency that provides opportunities for individuals with developmental disabilities. Services are provided throughout Northeastern and Central Oklahoma. Gatesway was founded in 1963 by Helen Gates to provide alternatives for persons with developmental disabilities such as her son, Ronnie, who was born with Down's syndrome. Gatesway moved to its new larger facility in Broken Arrow, a suburb of Tulsa, where it is currently located. Today, Gateways' dedicated Board of Trustees; C.E.O. and its caring and trained staff continue to provide and improve the well-balanced, individualized programs and services offered to each person served by Gatesway.
Gatesway's goal is to assure all people served acquire the living skills, vocational skills, and social skills necessary to help them become a vital part of their community. Of course, the ultimate goal for Gatesway and the people served is that each person will reach a level of independence that allows them to no longer require services from Gatesway. And, although we are realistic in knowing that some people served will not be able to live and work independently, we do realize that they are all capable of developing skills to move into a less restrictive environment.
