On the one hand, they try to accept their child's disability; on the other hand, they fear that this acceptance may lower their aspirations for their child. They wonder if they should continue to dream of their child achieving like other children. This study explores how parents' aspirations are expressed in their daily lives. Using photovoice as a community‐based participatory research, 13 parents from a city in central Israel took part in a year‐long project. Data were analysed using categorical content analysis. Four key narratives emerged: (1) the dream and its breakdown; (2) they can be whatever they want to be!; (3) They can be whatever they want to be, can not they?; and (4) to dream, but differently: reframing aspirations for achievement. The findings reveal the complexity of parenting a child with a disability. Parents often hold conflicting aspirations, creating tensions that become part of their identity and are shaped through transformative learning processes. This study offers important insights for professionals and policy‐makers. It calls for more sensitive, tailored support for PCD as service users.\n"]
