Parent doesn’t appear to support friendship with my disabled daughter

My disabled daughter made a lovely best friend in reception which amazed me as she’d never had friends before. They adore each other. Her friend isn’t disabled. Unfortunately the friends Mum doesn’t appear to support the friendship - doesn’t reciprocate play dates, never speaks to me about my daughter/their friendship. What do I do to encourage her to support this friendship?

Mission - you're spectacularly missing the point. The OP has been making the first, second, third, etc move. She is questioning what to do next. She's not feeling hard done by, but she's wondering what she can do to help her DD participate in one of the normal childhood things - going to a friend's house for tea. As most of the pp have said, it could be for a number of reasons, not just the disability and I don't think the OP was seeing it that way. My experience is though that disability puts some people off. Sorry if you find that irritating.

The op isn 't being anything especially not irritating she is trying to work out why her Dd isn't being invited back when other children are, it could be a whole host of reasons and one of those reasons could be because of her dds disability.
