I've heard rumors that you can get a handicapped parking plate, but I'm just not that short, so I've never looked it up.

good luck

if they give me a handicapped plate (after whenever i get my license) then i wont park in a handicapped spot unless i have broken my leg or something like that. i did try looking on the little people of america's site but it didnt give me the info i needed. b/c of this setback with jason getting a job im trying to look into everything that will help.

Being of short stature is not a disability.If you have a medical or genetic condition(Dwarfism)you may qualify for a disability. I once worked with a woman who had that condition. She was about 4'6" and was a Registered Nurse.Being little did not prevent her from working .

I've never heard of any programs that give benefits based on a person's height...but, I suppose anything is possible. I would think it would have to be a medical issue...
