Ethan Crough, a middle school technology education teacher, joins us for Rare Disease Day to celebrate diversity as a man living with achondroplasia. Ethan discusses his experiences of living with achondroplasia and highlights useful resources such as Little People of America, which provide support for people of short stature and their families. 

Touch Medical Media is supporting Rare Disease Day (28 February 2022) to shine a light on healthcare inequalities for people living with rare diseases, focusing on patient quality of life and the difficulty of diagnosing patients early.

Questions:

  1. Could you tell us a bit about achondroplasia and how it affects your daily life? (1:02)
  2. What resources or support have you found useful? (3:03)
  3. What else is needed to improve the quality of life of people living with achondroplasia and their families? (5:05)
