Woolley Institute for Spoken-Language Education

Woolley Institute for Spoken-Language Education Alabama School for Hearing was born out of a joint effort between Children's HEAR Center and The Alabama Ear Institute.

The Woolley Institute for Spoken-Language Education (WISE), formerly the Alabama Ear Institute is a not for profit dedicated to teaching deaf children to speak. In 2018, our organization became the Woolley Institute for Spoken-Language Education (WISE). Our Goal is to create a learning environment that is similar to traditional preschool, while addressing the unique needs of children with hearing

loss that have chosen a spoken language approach to communication. We are committed to helping children further develop their listening, language, and speech skills in a positive and fun learning environment. Children are placed in low teacher-to-student ratio groups based on their listening age and language abilities. All classroom activities are designed to improve auditory skills, vocabulary, concepts, conversational skills, sentence structure, and speech skills. Admission criteria available upon request at [email protected]
