How can I help my child with achondroplasia?

Children diagnosed with achondroplasia can lead healthy and full lives. After treating your child’s medical needs, focus on providing a welcoming environment for your child to thrive by:

• Eliminating physical challenges to promote independence (use of a step stool, extending light switches).
• Providing emotional and educational support (to prevent bullying in school).
• Engaging with groups and organizations in the dwarfism community.
