I have hypochondroplasia - a milder form of achon. I went to normal school and have lead a normal life. Short stature is not a disability in my opinion. If he can't reach something, he will find something to climb up on or he will ask someone. My advise (though I live with a condition that is not as severe as his) is that you should treat him as a normal kid because that is what he is! He will be as clever and as cheeky as all the rest. I have a friend with full achon. and she is also leading an absolutely normal life.

Subject: [achondroplastic_dwarfism] Achondroplasia and School Environment school in the Northeast. I have just aquired a 4 year old boy with Achondroplasia and am trying to cover all of the bases to make his transition to our school an easy one. I am writing to anyone who has experienced the elementary school environment first hand to determine what you found to be the most hindering/helpful. We are currently planning environmental modifications and adaptations. At this time he is enrolled in pre-school where his stature is not an issue, however, in the elementary school there are many obstacles to be overcome. I would enjoy hearing from anyone with thoughts on this subject!! Thank you in advance for your time :) To Post a message, send it to: achondroplastic_dwarfism@eGroups.com To Unsubscribe, send a blank message to: achondroplastic_dwarfism-unsubscribe@eGroups.com Your use of Yahoo!
