SED/Kniest website
Information for people with and who know people with SED.

This is a closed group and a person must apply to be permitted to join the group.
An e-group for children/Teens with SED or Kniest.
They must be age 9-19 to join and have SED or Kniest short stature.
To maintain the safety of the young members, this is a closed group.

As an adult, I monitor all e-mails. If anything is inappropriate, I will remove that person from the group at once. Safety first in this case due to young age of the members.
