Immediate Opening
For almost 60 years, The Gateway School has transformed the lives of bright children who experience academic difficulty as a result of language-based learning disabilities (e.g., dyslexia, reading and writing disorders), attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), executive function disorder, or auditory processing difficulties. Located on Manhattan’s Upper West Side, Gateway enrolls approximately 160 students between the ages of 5-14. In small classes with a low student-to-teacher ratio, faculty and therapists meet students where they are, individualize instruction accordingly, and develop them into skilled, strategic, independent learners who are capable of advocating for themselves and who are prepared to transition into mainstream school and life.

Further, the Language Therapist collaborates with teachers and other professionals on how to best meet students’ language learning needs. The position also involves conducting language screenings and other assessments and submitting progress reports. The ideal candidate is an experienced Language Therapist with a strong desire to work in a collaborative environment and a commitment to teaching students with language-based learning disabilities.
