In the United States, one unresearched or undiscussed immigrant population is immigrant parents of children with disabilities. Research shows that immigrant parents of deaf and hard of hearing (D/HH) children migrate to the US to find better opportunities, resources, and services for their D/HH children and an environment in which their D/HH children can thrive away from the native country's social-cultural stigma (Steinberg et al., 2002; Stone-MacDonald, 2019). Like many other parents of D/HH, they lack previous interactions with a D/HHH person; they experience challenges and stress when raising their D/HH children; however, being an immigrant with a D/HH child is a unique experience. Using the lens of community cultural wealth (Yosso, 2005) and an intersectionality framework (Crenshaw, 1989), the current study examines the lived experiences of US immigrant parents of D/HH children and their journey to resilience.
