The position of NOSSA

Some people mistakenly believe that we are promoting a 'victim mentality'. These people are misunderstanding the position of the National Organization of Short Statured Adults. We encourage our members to take responsibility for their own lives, and we remind them that although we can not always control our circumstances in life, we can always control our response. Our mission is not to promote hostility or anger against those who discriminate against us. Rather, our mission is to educate them; to empower short statured people; to give short statured people assistance wherever and whenever it is needed.
