Re: Handicapped or not
If he's 14, I wouldn't make too big of a deal out of it. The definition posted above about the requirements of dwarfism aren't met because he isn't at his "adult height" yet. My personal opinion would be to have him wait a year or two and see what happens. If he's still 4' when he is a senior, I fully agree that that is a disability. Until then, he just hasn't gone through a growth spurt.
I know its not what you want to hear, but it might be the most fair/safe answer to the situation.
