Tucker Maxon School is a primary and secondary educational institution in Portland, Oregon that educates children with typical hearing and those with hearing loss in small, cooperative classrooms. It originated in 1947 as a school for children with hearing loss to learn to speak, and today, early diagnosis and intervention support spoken-language development. Deaf students at Tucker Maxon do not use sign language; they learn to speak and listen with digital hearing aids or cochlear implants, alongside their peers. Students with typical hearing benefit from qualified teachers and a setting that provides individualized attention within this inclusive model. Based in Portland, the school maintains a compact staff and emphasizes integrating teaching methods with assistive listening technology to support both groups of learners.
