25. Diastrophic Help Diastrophic dwarfism Tips for children with diastrophic dysplasia to solve somequestions about selfcare and adjustments to home and school. DIASTROPHIC HELP. http://www.pixelscapes.com/ddhelp/

DIASTROPHIC HELP The purpose of this web site is to help the parents of children with diastrophic dysplasia (DDs for short) solve the very early questions of self-care and adjustments to the home and school environments. Diastrophic hands and the more limited range of motion pose special self-care challenges. These children learn to do everything well, but the early days can be confusing for parents, with each family trying to "reinvent the wheel". We hope to avoid some of that with the resources on this web site. We have attempted to put the hints in categories as much as possible, but there will be some overlap. The ideas here are NOT the last word, just a starting point. Although DD children are alike in many ways, they are also very different in their abilities at various ages. Size, limb proportion, and range of motion make it impossible to have just one formula that works for everyone. It is our hope that some of the hints listed here will work perfectly the first time and, barring that, that the child will figure out his/her own ways of improving on and adapting these hints. We have assumed the premise of using as few special gadgets as possible, and where gadgets are inevitable, an attempt has been made to have them be cheap, easily-made, and/or readily accessible for a lifetime. Some of the gadgets are shown here, while others can be found in medical supply catalogs.

Dwarfism Dwarfism occurs when adult stature is considerably shorter than normal, often with abnormal body proportions, primarily as a result of a genetic disorder. The most common growth defect of this type is achondroplasia, which occurs in one in every 20,000 births in the United States. Other genetic syndromes resulting in abnormal bone development or skeletal dysplasias include: Pseudoachondroplasia, often not diagnosed until the toddler years Hypochondroplasia, with symptoms similar to achondroplasia, often is not diagnosed until the toddler years Hypochondrogenesis, which is often fatal Cartilage hair hypoplasia, a form of short-limb dwarfism rare except among the Finnish and Amish Ellis-van Creveld syndrome, a form of short-limb dwarfism more common in Amish people Kniest dysplasia Diastrophic dysplasia, which affects one in 100,000 births Spondylo-epiphyseal dysplasia, which occurs in one of every 100,000 births Osteogenesis imperfecta type III, a brittle bone disease

Taken from KidsHealth Magazine, August, 2002. If your child has been diagnosed with dwarfism, you're probably wondering what lies ahead for her and your family. You may be asking if your child will lead a normal life, or perhaps you're concerned about the challenges she'll face growing up with below-average height. It may be comforting to know that your family is not alone. Although estimates vary, between one in 14,000 and one in 27,000 babies are born each year with some form of dwarfism. Many people with dwarfism and their families belong to active social and support groups for people of short stature. To learn more about the condition and living with dwarfism, read on. What Is Dwarfism? Dwarfism describes an unusually short stature that can arise from a variety of genetic and other conditions. The Little People of America, one of the largest and most active support groups for people with dwarfism, considers dwarfism to be an adult height of 4 feet 10 inches or less. Many types of dwarfism are skeletal dysplasias , conditions marked by abnormal bone growth. They are divided into two types: short-trunk and short-limb dysplasias.

Dwarfism: Three Essays Dwarfism by Angeline Cardinale Little People:An Observation of Exploitation by Beth Everett Dwarfism by Paige Kemmerer Dwarfism by Angeline Cardinale If people, both average and short stature, were able to place their humanity before everything else, the world might be a much better place.The more we stick labels on each other, the more we segregate ourselves, and the more we encourage ignorance and prejudice. The book Stones from the River, by Ursula Hegi, gives a first-hand account of a dwarf named Trudi.Although Trudi is just a fictional character, she is faced with many prejudices against her from the people around her, while dealing with her own emotional turmoil over accepting herself for who she is.Trudi, like other dwarfs of the past and present, is forced to accept who she is.
