It advocates for the interests and concerns of dwarfism , short statured individuals and their families in Germany. In 2013, the association had over 3,500 members. Since there are various causes for dwarfism, the spectrum of diagnoses among the members is also diverse. History The origins of the association date back to the early 1980s. At that time, parents of dwarfs began to meet with the goal of networking and exchanging experiences and information. The initiative came from Ruzena and Karl-Heinz Klingebiel and the psychologist Ortrun Schott. The association was initially founded on February 16, 1988, as the "Elterngruppe kleinwüchsiger Kinder e.V." (Parents' Group of Dwarf Children).''Chronicle – 25 years of family-oriented health self-help.'' Bremen 2012, Bundesverband Kleinwüchsige Menschen und ihre Familie ...
