Tucker Maxon School

What it reported doing in 2024

Tucker maxon's early intervention (ei) program for deaf children ages 1 month to 3 years is a family's first step in a journey from diagnosis to mainstreaming. Babies who are identified as deaf at birth begin wearing hearing AIDS while still in the crib. Babies with severe to profound hearing losses often receive cochlear implants when they are ten to twelve months old. We teach toddlers and their families to use their new technology and begin to learn language. We utilize an auditory verbal approach to teaching spoken language. This means children learn to listen and talk, the same way hearing children do. At tucker maxon school, our collaborative, family centered approach to ei develops a child's listening and spoken language abilities while supporting the family in a language rich environment at home. Tucker maxon offers a wide range of services for infants and toddlers and their families including audiology and language environment analysis systems (lenas). Our early intervention educators meet weekly with local families at home and at school, and in play groups. We provide tele-intervention via video conference for out-of-area families. In ei, we provide the child with early and specific education in auditory learning and spoken language to set the stage for reading and academic achievement later in school.
