The purpose of this study was to explore the experiences of parenting a child with a dual diagnosis of childhood deafness and autism spectrum disorder who underwent cochlear implantation. Experiences of these parents are rarely discussed within the literature. Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis was used to examine nine mothers of boys (4-9 years old) for understanding their parenting experiences. Three superordinate themes were identified: complexity, personal and family sacrifices and parent-professional partnerships. These themes provide a rich account of mothers' interpretations of their experiences, and reflect the numerous challenges they face. This study helps expand the literature on cochlear implantation for children with autism spectrum disorder, and discusses implications for clinical and educational practice
