Dementia, how it can affect a person with a learning disability, and the resources available to them are all explained in Jenny's Diary, a free pamphlet that can be downloaded in English, German, Italian, Mandarin, and Norwegian (text only). Although it was created in Scotland, it is easily adaptable to various situations.

The pamphlet explains in straightforward words how Jenny perceives her dementia, the challenges she faces in managing with it, and the help she finds to deal with it. Jenny (who has a learning disability) is shown in images living her daily life.

A free booklet and collection of postcards called Jenny's Diary are designed to help professionals and persons with learning impairments have discussions about dementia and ways to support it.
