Materials
Development:
Training
materials are developed based on current research and
information available. All training programs, HIP
on Health series, booklets, and curriculums have been
reviewed by experts in related fields. Reviewers
include pediatricians, registered nurses, registered
dietitians, early childhood education specialists,
health educators, safety specialists, and other
qualified professionals. All materials have been
field-tested and evaluated in a variety of childcare and
staff training settings.
Materials
are regularly reviewed and, if necessary, revised to
assure the most current and accurate information. For
example, in 2003, the American Association of Pediatrics
revised recommendations regarding use of syrup of ipecac
for poisoning.
If
changes are required based on revised national standards
or guidelines, those changes will be posted on this
website. It is the purchaser and/or trainers responsibility
to incorporate these revisions and assure that training
information continues to be current and accurate.
To review changes click on the program title; changes
will be noted at the top of the description page.

Nicolas A "Nic" Frising (1943-2005)
Nic
Frising had been creating cartoons,
caricatures, illustrations, and custom art
designs for years he would have said...but
wouldn't tell us how many. His humor
showed through in his wonderful illustrations
that are used in the HIP on Health and MORE
HIP on Health parent training packages. A
well known local artist in Joplin, Missouri,
his dedication to his craft was honored by
galleries and the community. We were
indeed lucky to have such a gifted artist work
with us.
