Gatesway Foundation

Empowering Adults with I/DD To Live, Work & Thrive

At Gatesway, we believe in a world where every adult with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) lives a life of dignity, purpose, and community.  Since 1963, we’ve helped individuals thrive through safe housing, meaningful employment, life skills training, and compassionate care.

Gatesway is a non-profit Oklahoma agency, founded in 1963 by Helen Gates to provide alternatives for persons with intellectual disabilities; like her son Ronnie, who was born with Down syndrome.

Gatesway's goal is to assure all people served acquire the living skills, vocational skills, and social skills necessary to become a vital part of their community. Our ultimate goal for those we serve is to see each individual reach a level of independence which no longer requires services from Gatesway.
