Hi,
I am wondering if anyone has considered and/or done growth attenuation. I am looking for an endocrinologist in the new york area that is familiar with this and can advise us and possibly go ahead with the treatment. I know this is controversial, I am not looking for anyone's opinions or input. I am simply looking for medical guidance and advise. Thank You!

This Is not the forum likely to have guidance for you. I am sure you are in touch with people who work with the severely disabled and they will know who people go to.

Just asking out of curiosity - is growth attenuation only done for severely disabled? Or is it that term inclusive for all of the combined treatments that halts the development of a child?

No, it's not only done for severely disabled children.
