Do the children participate in school activities, or are they limited because they have Progeria?
Children with Progeria are able to participate in all the same educational programs and sports activities as other children. With the exception of having Progeria, these children are just like every other child. Most have no special capacities or limitations other than those that their shorter stature and perhaps stiff joints cause for some activities.
