I’m high school student. I’ve heard the word “adapt” my whole life, but after being diagnosed with spinal stenosis and scoliosis in addition to achondroplasia, a rare form of dwarfism, it took on a whole new meaning for me.
Everyday things started to feel a lot harder: finding shoes that fit, using furniture, or even reaching pedals. I talked to others in the Little People of America (LPA) community and found that many struggled with the same issues: either products were expensive or there were not enough helpful reviews from people who actually use them.
