Different Effects
Zach and his parents, Amy and Matthew, all live with dwarfism, dealing with the daily obstacles their condition presents. While some people with dwarfism have extremely hard lives, others face less obstacles. Zach had to undergo many high-risk surgeries at a young age, and Matt had it even tougher because of his diastrophic dysplasia. On the other hand, Amy didn’t face many obstacles, at least in comparison to her son and husband.

Awareness
The Roloffs claim they took the TLC show on to educate the public and bring awareness to the condition. Amy states, “The Learning Channel (TLC) came to us about five or six years ago, and so we suddenly realized we were given a great opportunity to educate people about dwarfism. Nothing [else] had depicted dwarfism in an everyday way”.
