NEW PARENT SUPPORT

Giving birth to a child with dwarfism can lead to many unanswered questions and concerns. The Understanding Dwarfism Program is dedicated to educating and raising awareness about dwarfism. The Program is also available to lend support, offer suggestions and an ear to listen for new parents of a child with dwarfism. It is our hopes that no one walks down an uncertain road with their child, rather that they feel supported in their journey on a path to recognizing the gift that your child brings.

UNDERSTANDING DWARFISM

Educating the world one person at a time

Understanding Dwarfism is a program dedicated to changing the world’s perception of a group of people who throughout history have been miss understood and stigmatized because of their profound short stature.

Our hopes are that through education, understanding and awareness people will begin to see persons with dwarfism for their positive contributions to society - equally capable and deserving of a life free of stereotypes and equal to that of any other.

Get a unique perspective of how people with dwarfism see the world and what they want you to know. Understand their challenges, their contributions, and find out how much you really have in common with someone you might think is much different than you.
