"The Jay and Ben book offers its readers a unique, interesting, and proactive way to connect and communicate. As the dad of a son with autism, and an autism advocate, this is one of the finest concepts that I have seen over the years." —Artie Kempner, Autism Speaks
Jay and Ben was specially developed for children with developmental and learning differences and disabilities. Because of its unique format, this book may be used in a variety of ways to promote educational progress and growth for children with a wide range of abilities. The creation of Jay and Ben was a collaborative effort and the authors, Lulu Delacre and Katharine Swanson, are thankful for all the feedback they received when field-testing early prototypes of the book. The valuable insights they received from teachers and parents of special needs children was enormously useful to the authors in helping them get the book to a stage where it would make the most impact with the developmental and learning differences and disabilities population.
