Make sure she sees “Health Supervision for Children with Achondroplasia,” an article by the Committee on Genetics of the American Academy of Pediatrics, which appeared in the March 1995 issue of the journal Pediatrics. It is an excellent overview to the issues involved in treating a child with achondroplasia.
