Jessica Markbreiter: Dwarfism Awareness Presentation
Posted: June 9, 2015
This was the second year that Athletic Training student, Jessica Markbreiter, presented on the topic of Dwarfism Awareness to the faculty and students at ATSU. During both presentations she was able to educate others on dwarfism, common misconceptions, stereotypes, proper terminology, and social norms within the little people community. She said, “The Little People of America (LPA) is our national organization that offers the opportunity to connect with others with various forms of dwarfism, medical doctors who specialize in skeletal dysplasia, and other resources helpful to little people. These presentations offered a great opportunity to promote social awareness and diversity to those at ATSU.”
