A Little About WISE
The Woolley Institute for Spoken-Language Education (WISE), is a 501 © not for profit organization dedicated to teaching deaf children to speak. We are a statewide, family focused program working in collaboration with Alabama’s Early Intervention System, local school systems, and private and public entities which advance the education of deaf children who use listening and spoken language.
“We empower Alabama’s infants and children with hearing loss, speech, language, and communication delays to reach their fullest potential. We understand that children with communication needs are best served when their families are engaged, educated, and intentional in promoting their child’s development. We guide families on their journey, cultivating their understanding of their child’s needs and building their capacities for addressing those needs in family-focused ways. Not only are WISE families guided by Alabama professionals with unparalleled expertise in the Listening & Spoken Language (LSL) communication mode, we also connect them to a larger community of people, who like them, have faced the challenges pediatric hearing loss, speech, language, and communication delays but are farther along on the journey. Our programs are specifically designed to empower families toward resiliency and joy.”
