This qualitative study examined the emotional journey of parents raising children with dyslexia and behavioral challenges, focusing on the barriers to acceptance and the psychological impact of denial. The research aimed to provide a localized understanding of how societal stigma, lack of institutional support, and personal struggles influence parental perspectives. By conducting in-depth interviews with six parents from Sto. Tomas, Davao del Norte, the study utilized thematic analysis to interpret recurring patterns in their experiences. The findings revealed that parents experience intense emotional distress, including frustration, guilt, sadness, and anxiety, which often leads to delayed acceptance and difficulties in securing appropriate interventions. Parents highlighted the absence of specialized education programs, societal misconceptions, and a lack of community awareness as major obstacles in supporting their children. Furthermore, the study uncovered key coping strategies, such as seeking peer support, developing resilience, and fostering confidence in their children, as essential mechanisms for overcoming these challenges. Despite institutional limitations, parents demonstrated remarkable adaptability, advocating for their children while battling personal and societal barriers. This study underscores the urgent need for educational reforms, community-driven initiatives, and enhanced parental support programs to facilitate acceptance and provide accessible intervention services. Additionally, local government units and educational institutions must take active roles in raising awareness, improving special education access, and equipping families with essential resources. While the challenges remain significant, empowering parents through targeted interventions and support systems can foster a more inclusive and understanding environment for children with dyslexia and behavioral challenges.
