Abstract | This is a qualitative study exploring the personal accounts of mothers of adult offspring with a diagnosis of mild learning disabilities (LD). Evidence has shown that the experiences of such mothers is under-represented in counselling and psychotherapy research. This study aims to address the gap. Eight participants were purposively selected for the project and were then interviewed using semi-structured interviews. The interviews were transcribed verbatim and analysed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA). |
