In order to admit a child to Gateway Farm, the child must first be between the ages of 5 and 18. The legal guardian must call our office at 903-628-1112 and speak with the Program Director or Case Manager and a brief phone interview will be conducted. Based on this information, the following steps will be followed:

• A face to face interview with both child & guardian
• A second interview with the entire staff & psychologist
• After both interviews are completed a determination is made on whether the child will fit into our program

If the child is accepted into our program, the following documentation is required before placement can be made:

• A copy of their birth certificate
• A copy of their social security card
• A copy of their Medicaid or insurance card
• School records including withdrawal and immunization
• A current psychological evaluation
• Medical Records
• A current physical and TB test (within last 30 days)

The above documents are necessary for placement at Gateway Farm. Other documents may also be requested before admission. If you have any questions, please contact us using the information listed on the General Contact Information page.
