description Purpose: The goal of this research was to investigate the difficulties that deaf parents have when it comes to the academic performance of their hearing children. Methodology: Case studies based on qualitative paradigms were used for this study. Participants in the research were parents who were deaf themselves but whose children had normal hearing. The sample comprises of 14 deaf couples from two divisions of Punjab—Lahore and Gujranwala. The data collection method consisted of a self-developed interview schedule with open-ended questions. Thematic analysis, a qualitative method, was used to analyze the data. Findings: Deaf parents have to deal with a number of obstacles, the most significant of which are communication barriers, attitudes they confront, and misunderstandings held by the community as a whole, all of which limit their capacity to participate in their children's academic lives who have normal hearing. Implications: It was suggested to the various stakeholders that they should be required to play their respective contributing roles in the process of reducing the constraints that restrict the engagement of parents in the academics of their children on a consistent basis, beginning with the most fundamental level.
