Learning Has Rhythm Coaching

Gisele Terrell Ph.D, LSW

For twenty-five years I have worked in the fields of Social Work, Psychology, and Education. Despite the fact that our society divides these fields, they actually intertwine. One cannot be proficient at one without having knowledge of the others.

I have worked with senior citizens, students, learning disabled adults, sex offenders, and others. After noticing a gap in the services provided in these fields, six years ago I returned to college to study education that specialized in adults with learning challenges in the work environment.

One of my goals was to find techniques that would support adults with differences. Combining the traditional educational methods of my MS in Counseling, BS in Social Work, and Associate Degree in Mental Health, with the innovative methods I obtained in my Ph.D. in Adult Education, provided me a broad and powerful understanding of the difficulties people with learning challenges experience. Unfortunately, limited approaches are still being used to work with these adults. The other unfortunate part of this is with the challenging times we are facing I am finding that many adults that need the support cannot afford the support. Sadly many of the services that could work with this population will not work with those who most need it. My goal is to work with those that are left out of the system.

Another one of the tools I have used with success is The Listening Program.

I have completed my TLP training and now work with adults using this incredible method that not only works with learning differences, but can alleviate the stresses that adults as well as older teens face.
