This research explored the impact of online parenting programs and guidance on mothers' sense of competency in supporting their twice-exceptional (2e) children. Trained professionals in strength-based assessment conducted two independent studies. Study A involved 8 mothers with 2e children aged seven to ten with ADHD and gifted tendencies, while Study B included 9 homeschooling mothers of 2e children aged 8 to 14. Although both studies provided similar interventions, distinct characteristics arose due to the studies' unique design and expertise of the facilitators. The parenting program was relatively short, lasting approximately 300-330 minutes over 3 and 6 weeks, respectively, allowing parents to implement and discuss strength-based strategies with facilitators. Mothers completed the Parenting Sense of Competency Scale before and after the program to assess their competency levels. Study B also collected qualitative feedback, revealing an improvement in mothers' sense of competency and positive experiences. Although both interventions increased self-reported sense of competency, the amount varied between the studies. Suggestions and implications are discussed.
