At the heart of Part II is a new series of 25 reproducible patient education handouts in both English and Spanish that feature: need-to-know information up front; fewer health care terms and jargon; practical pronunciation guides; low reading levels; user-friendly layouts; and, simple, purposeful illustrations. General handout topics include: ADHD; Asthma; Bed wetting; Bronchiolitis; Calcium; Constipation; Croup; Development; Ear Infections; Fever; Gastroenteritis; Influenza; Medications; Oral Health; Smoking; Temper Tantrums; and, Upper Respiratory Infections.
