The class was designed to provide educational and therapeutic services to mother with cognitive limitations. The class was developed to increase the mothers awareness of reciprocal relationships in her own life and to model positive relationships with others to her children. The design of the study included review of course materials. Additionally, the researcher conducted one hour in-depth interviews with four clients from the class to evaluation how effective the class was in teaching relationship skills, and what skills, if any, did the clients learn from the class. The significance of this study will be used for planning and developing future classes for this client population.
