Abstract: This case study explored the lived experiences of a parent supporting the education of a homebound learner with cerebral palsy, focusing on the educational interventions, resources, and coping mechanisms they employed. Through an interview with a mother of a 7-year-old child with cerebral palsy, the study highlighted the challenges of balancing caregiving and teaching roles, the barriers to accessing tailored educational materials, and the limited support from educational institutions. Findings revealed that while the school-provided modules helped, they were not adapted to meet the specific needs of children with disabilities. The parent faced financial and geographical barriers to accessing specialized resources and therapy services. The study emphasized the importance of regular teacher check-ins, parent training programs, and community support in addressing these challenges. The research drew on Bronfenbrenner’s Ecological Systems Theory and Resilience Theory, offering a comprehensive view of the complex factors affecting homebound learners. Recommendations included creating more inclusive educational materials, regular communication between parents and teachers, and providing affordable resources and training. This study contributed to understanding the dynamics of home-based education for children with cerebral palsy and provided practical recommendations for improving support systems for families in similar situations.
