Admissions and Financial Aid Information for Students with Hearing Loss

Admissions

Thanks to generous donations from foundations, corporations, and individuals, no child with a hearing loss has ever been denied admission to Tucker-Maxon for financial reasons.

Families interested in enrolling a child with hearing loss in any of our educational programs may contact the school secretary at 503-235-6551 or TTY 503-235-1711 to arrange a visit and learn more about our programs and services.

Students with hearing loss get services and support from a licensed teacher of the hearing impaired, an ASHA certified speech/language pathologist, and an ASHA certified audiologist.

Financial Aid

Financial assistance is open to all families of children with hearing impairment, based on need.  Again, we would like to stress that no child with a hearing loss has ever been denied admission to Tucker-Maxon for financial reasons.

One year of Early Intervention services are available at no cost to families of deaf children not yet of preschool age (3rd birthday.)

After the first year, services for children who are deaf may be funded by the child's school district through the IFSP (Individualized Family Service Plan) process or through insurance coverage.  Parents whose children are not placed at TMOS through the IFSP process or through insurance benefits can apply for scholarship through the Financial Aid Committee of the Tucker-Maxon Board.

Scholarships are made available from grants and donations designated to support children with hearing loss.  Aid is awarded based on financial need and compliance with the donor’s restrictions. 

 

 

 

Need before or after school care?

Extended Care is available for Tucker-Maxon students from 7:30 a.m. until class starts. It begins again when school lets out (1:00, 2:00, or 2:45 p.m.) and runs until 5:30 p.m. Parents are billed monthly at a rate of $5.00 an hour.
