Halmos Faculty Shares the Importance of Children’s Foot Development.

On Thursday, September 17, Halmos faculty member Mark Jaffe, D.P.M. conducted a presentation to over 25 families who attended the Start Smart Storytime for Little Minnows that morning. During this invited presentation, Jaffe informed the parents of the importance of their child’s foot development and taught them how to assess their kids shoes using the “1,2,3, Shoe Test”. After the presentation, Jaffe, along with six students, they screened about half of the children.

Prior to any community outreach, all student volunteers are trained on how to teach parents to analyze their children’s shoes. Prior to this event, Jaffe trained 15 of Halmos’s students to work with him on such outreach projects.
