    Ms. Bernal,

    Thank you for this response. You present a very interesting issue.

    Is there any legislation that would allow the ADA to better address the concerns of persons with primordial dwarfism?

    How can the State of Texas contribute to this discussion?

    Many business with whom I’ve spoken agree that there is a need of which they weren’t aware, yet know they need to address. However, they’re finding that current ADA regulations for wheelchair access in the restrooms are so open-ended that it disallows them the opportunity to provide accommodations for other groups’ needs for fear of being sued. The State could provide regulations that would either more clearly define what’s listed in the ADA or it could provide official recommendations that would allow proper access for both wheelchairs and Little People. It would not only help Primordial Dwarfs, it would help ALL Little People. The Little People of America endorses my efforts and we’re both interested in being able to find a way to provide access for all.
