We are quickly filling up our new 22nd street facility! In February 2010, GaitWay will be expanding into the adjacent office space. In addition to the regularly scheduled programs, Day Treatment for Adults and Afternoon respite for Children with Disabilities have been available since August 2009.
Dreams do come true!
All of us at GaitWay have looked forward to the day that we could offer year-round Conductive Education. That day have come! On January 4th, our new Conductive Education Teacher began at GaitWay. She was educated in Budapest, Hungary and has work experience in rehabilitation and special education with children and young adults. We're happy to have her, her husband and young son here in Tucson.

Your generosity means a great deal to our children and adults and their families.
