Abstract | Twice-exceptional learners benefit personally and academically from supportive individuals. Additionally, those learners with a parent well-versed in understanding the needs of one's child and capable of advocating on his or her behalf are especially fortunate. Despite the desire to assist one's child and support his or her academic journey, many parents are left baffled and overwhelmed with challenges and expectations. Experts suggest parenting a gifted child can, at times, be challenging (Webb, Gore, Amend, & DeVries, 2007). Consequently, it can be assumed parenting a child with multiple exceptionalities would also offer unique challenges. Thus, it is important to support the parent of such a child, for, in supporting the parent, one is supporting the child. This qualitative case study considers the lived experience of one mother currently raising a twice-exceptional, gifted and dyslexic sophomore, struggling with ADHD and anxiety. Collected data highlights the thoughts and feelings this mother has toward parenting such a child. It is hoped that such an account can help parents in similar circumstances as well as stakeholders better appreciate and understand such children and the struggles parents raising such a child may encounter.
