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
