Early Intervention (birth-age three)

Tucker-Maxon’s Early Intervention Program continues our tradition of serving young children with hearing loss and their families.  Parents are still the most experienced and consistent influences on their child’s development.  Therefore, this program focuses on developing caring and collaborative partnerships with parents that facilitate spoken language development through listening.

Our program is unique in Oregon:

• We offer intensive auditory-oral intervention.


• We provide an on-site audiologist who does hearing aid analysis and cochlear implant mapping.


• We offer weekly home and school sessions.


• We facilitate toddler groups with both children with typical hearing and children who are deaf.


• We hold a monthly support and information group for families.

Paying for Early Intervention

We give one year of services at no cost to the family for children under age three.

After the first year, services may be funded by public agencies through the Individualized Family Service Plan process. Parents who decide on their own to place their children at Tucker-Maxon can apply for financial aid.

No child with hearing loss is ever turned away because of financial need. Some of our families pay as little as $50/month.
