Nearly 25 years ago, Gateway (GCC) was founded on the principle that all individuals including those with intellectual and developmental disabilities deserve to live happy, productive, independent lives. Since we first opened our doors, we’ve served more than a thousand clients by pioneering innovative programs that speak to them not only as individuals, but as shareholders in the larger community around them. Additionally, we design all of our groups for a wide range of Areas of Interest and tailor them for people across the entire spectrum of disability. We pride ourselves on our caring, committed staff from our dedicated MSCs to our incredibly talented guest lecturers to our conscientious facilities-management team. Above all, our facilities are regulated under the auspices of the New York State Office for Persons with Developmental Disabilities (OPWDD) and the New York State Office of Mental Health (OMH).
