BellaBoo, ask her if she could draw the concept for you. Maybe drawing it out could help.
My DS was quite an artist when he was younger - he could do almost 3 dimensional views. I actually wish he would draw now, but as an adult, he has moved on towards other things. He has LDs with some Asperger symptoms, but he is fairly mainstream, his main problem is reading people - he is not always able to pick up on things.
