The Understanding Dwarfism Program is dedicated to educating and raising awareness about dwarfism. It also acts as a support program to assist those who wish to educate and raise awareness about dwarfism on their own. We lend support through our outreach program by offering creative ways to maximize other peoples efforts. This is done by networking, offering printed materials, banners, displays, a web site, information, and support to create a uniform and attractive means to raise awareness. We believe educating is the most effective tool to allow people to gain an understanding and the best way to improve the lives of those who live with a type of dwarfism. Working with other organizations, teams, parents or individuals is the most affective way to meet our goals in raising awareness. Learn more about these partners:

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.
