Physical Activity and Social-Emotional Skills Initiative for Under-resourced Children with Dyslexia, ADHD, and Other Language-Based Learning Differences

As New York City schools and students prepare for summer break, The Gateway School is launching the second year of its partnership with Horizons NYC to provide a summer learning program specifically for children from under-represented communities who have dyslexia, ADHD, and other language-based learning differences. Founded more than 60 years ago, The Gateway School was one of the first schools in the country to address language-based learning differences and its partnership with Horizons NYC is the first of its kind in New York City.

“Research shows that students lose an average of two months of learning over the summer without summer learning programs.
