Spec Tales: Life Skills Stories for Kids with Autism & Special Needs is a series of individual child and parent-friendly books designed to give parents some ready-made and highly functional tools for working on challenging skills.
The Spec Tales Series is the brain child of Christine Ambrose (a freelance writer and editor) and Brenda Insalaco (a speech language pathologist). The two women met when Brenda began working with Christine’s son Dylan. The concept of life skills stories worked so very well for Dylan that Brenda and Christine decided they wanted to share these stories with all children with special needs who might benefit from them.
Artist and designer Anna Myers brings Spec, the Special Needs Puppy, to life with her warm and engaging illustrations.
Spec, by the way, is a real black lab puppy. He is the Ambrose Family’s pet.
