Title: Health Literacy for Children
Developed under the guidance of Dr. Jessica Knapp , Communication Studies

This health literacy project is geared towards pediatric office visitors, so that parents can engage their children to learn about health. Cut-out paper dolls with organs, body-based songs, and a tri-fold board in the doctor’s waiting room correspond with soft dolls used by doctors to kinesthetically demonstrate complex health concepts.
