Here's my weekly gathering of products, events, and stories of interest that have landed in my e-mail queue this week:
+ A newsletter from Children With Diabetes mentioned the "Store a Tooth. Find a Cure." program. A company that banks stem cells found in teeth will donate half of what you pay for the stem-cell storage to diabetes research, and will also donate $1 to research if you take a quiz on its site.
+ Another newsletter, this one from Kids With Food Allergies, announced the launch of a program to bring the information and support offered by KFA to families who are underserved and at risk. Access the newsletter online to learn more about this effort.
+ Seems every week brings news of another interesting-sounding book from Jessica Kingsley Publishers to my inbox. This week's is Getting into the Game: Sports Programs for Kids with Autism. On the JKP site, you can view the table of contents and read a blog post about the book. For more on getting kids with special needs in the game, read my articles on starting an inclusive sports program and adapting sports for inclusion.
Do you have good books, apps, sites, or products to call to our attention? Write a book or app review, submit a site or blog, and post in the marketplace section of the forum.
