Gateway Academy
3721 Dacoma Street, Houston, TX 77092
Gateway Academy is located near the junction at 610 and 290.
Gateway Academy is hosting a transition fair specifically targeting services for young adults with social and learning differences, who are ready to move on to post high school opportunites. Students with AD/HD, autism and learning differences are often considered "too high functioning" for state funded resources, yet they still require support in order to become productive adults. The fair will feature programs and schools throughout Texas and the United States. These programs cater to students for whom college, adult independent living and/or vocational careers are attainable with the proper structure and support. Programs will serve high school graduates aged 18 and up with average to above average IQ. Common learning differences addressed by programs include dyslexia, AD/HD and autism.
