Gathering a big deal for little people
March 6th, 2008
From the Boston Globe, a feature about three 10-year-old girls who will be attending an upcoming regional conference of Little People of America, a national organization for short-statured people.
The girls are described as assertive and outgoing, good students and comfortable with their size. They don’t think of themselves as disabled or different, and their parents report that their schools have made accommodations that allow them to navigate successfully.
“Nobody thinks anything of” Jessie’s size, said Bob Adams, describing his daughter’s school life. “They’ve all known her forever.”
