Dr. Salk was a frequent television guest on shows such as "Today," "Good Morning, America," and "Nightline.' For 20 years, he wrote a monthly column for McCall's magazine called "You and Your Family."
"He was an advocate for the child," his son said. "All he wanted to do was teach parents how to be better parents. That was his thing.
"He told parents to pick up your baby when he cries, that it's hard to spoil a newborn baby, that parents should tell their children the truth. The reason he was so successful in getting messages across was because he used common sense."
Dr. Salk also was a pioneer in the research of heartbeat sounds in infants, sudden infant death syndrome and the effects of early experience on later behavior.
