Gateway School, a program of HASA, provides an individualized,
comprehensive education to our students with communication related
disorders and/or autism to guide them to independence in the areas
of communication, academics, social and life skills. The students
are provided with a learning environment to meet their
individualized learning style, ABA track, small group/classroom
track, or the combination track. The ABA track provides students
with maximum 1:1 support. Special educators and instructors
implement the principles of applied behavior analysis and
research-based strategies for skill acquisitions. Students in the
ABA track spend a large part of their day in an intensive 1:1
instructional setting. Students in the ABA track participate in
small groups in shorter duration that address English/language
arts, mathematics, social studies, and science. The small
group/classroom track prepares students for success in a typical
classroom setting. Students are expected to demonstrate more
independent skills and classroom behavior with the support of a
special educator and an instructional assistant. The majority of
the school day is spent in small groups (7:2), with the flexibility
to break into smaller units as needed. In the combination track,
students spend a portion of the school day in the ABA track for
skill acquisition and the remainder of the day in the small
group/classroom track to foster pragmatic language, generalization
of skills, and independence.
All Gateway students participate in enrichment classes,
recreation, art, music, and library, as a group to promote social
skills. The educational program emphasizes on building language and
communication skills to support the acquisition and retention of
academic and social skills and the development of appropriate
social behavior. Language experiences and direct instruction
facilitate language, cognition, and academic readiness for
preschool students. For school-age students in Kindergarten through
grade 8 or a non-graded program, the curriculum incorporates
language learning within the subject areas of English/language
arts, mathematics, science, and social studies. The development of
social and adaptive/life skills for school and community is
fostered throughout the program for all students. The middle school
students participate in instruction focusing on pre-vocational
language acquisition while engaging in hands-on experience and
exposure to various vocations within HASA. Gateway`s curriculum and
school structure is intended to guide and support students to
acquire independence.
