WELCOME TO MY WORLD

- Size is the first thing that someone notices about me and it ti s up to me to prove why that does not define who I am.

- Being a Little Person is the only thing that I have ever known. It is normal to me. It will never change, even if I don't think about it.

- My early childhood was spent in and out of the hospital and my parents were often faced with many difficult decisions.

- No wait, that's not the right word little person yes, I think that's a Little Person, Oh my Gos I am starring. Stop starring. Stop starring, LOOK DOWN.

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.
