Achondroplastic<unk>  require special attention as they grow up and age. The home setting for an achondroplastic child should be modified in a way that is fitting for a child with a growth mutation. Toys should be considered and altered to fit the needs of the child, or size of the child, such as tricycles and backyard playground equipment. Other fixtures in the home should be replaced to attainable heights for the<unk>  such as light switches or door knobs. Because achondroplastic<unk>  tend to have weaker posture, supporting cushions should be considered in use as well as stools for their feet when they are sitting down. For an achondroplastic child to develop better, activities such as biking or swimming should be included in their daily schedule. Such activities may help with strength in the limbs and posture and will help to avert the problems of thoracolumbar kyphosis and spinal stenosis. Other activities, like gymnastics or rough sports should be avoided because they will help with the deteriorating of their back support and posture. Achondroplastic<unk>  should also be worked with daily on their verbal skills, so as to help them overcome the speech impairments they may likely encounter.
