About the broadcast
There are several television features scheduled across the BBC One Wales schedule during the first week of December 2008.
The Restricted Growth Association is a self-help organisation which deals with the social and medical consequences of restricted growth.
The Association promotes the interests of people with restricted growth and their families. It is a forum for the exchange of information and advice and offers mutual support and encouragement. It publishes advisory booklets and a quarterly newsletter. Meetings of RGA members take place in various forms, centring on the Annual National Convention, with Youth and Young Adults weekends, Family National Days and Regional Social Events.
Their goal is to reduce the disadvantages of people of restricted growth by providing information, advice, support, representation and campaigning so as to help increase their knowledge, confidence and ability to meet the challenges of the modern world.
Crucially they provide a network for families throughout the UK enabling families affected by a rare genetic condition to meet and share with those who have first hand experience of the same or similar conditions.
