Little People 
Communication Etiquette

1.      Use the term “little person” or “small stature,” and avoid the terms dwarf or midget.

2.      Do not treat the person as a child.  Size does not reflect age.

3.      Do not be afraid to ask if the person needs assistance in reaching something.

4.      Sit / bend to talk with the person; this eliminates the need for them to always look up.
