“Little People of America (LPA) is a
nonprofit organization that provides support and information to people of short stature and their families.
LPA was informally started in 1957 when Billy Barty called upon people of short stature to join him in
a get-together in Reno, Nevada. That original meeting of 21 people grew into Little
People of America, a group which as of 2010 has more than 6,800 members. LPA
has 73 local chapters which meet regularly as well as an annual week long
conference.”
Their website www.lpaonline.org offers
many groups, outreach programs and information on dwarfism and Skeletal
Dysplasia.
