Explaining learning disability to teenagers

[fransutton]

Hi,

I foster a teenage girl whose mother has a learning disability. Recently she has been struggling to understand why her mother struggles with relationships and many daily chores. We have only a limited understanding of her Mum’s disability, and I was wondering if there are any good support systems, information networks etc that we could use to help her understand her Mum’s disability better and hopefully improve their relationship?

Thanks,

Fran
