ABC's Bob Woodruff is working on a prime-time special and, with his wife, a book about his painstaking recovery since being seriously hurt by a roadside bomb in Iraq in January, the network said on Thursday.

The ABC News special, expected to be Woodruff's first on-camera appearance since his injuries, is planned for next spring.

Woodruff will interview eyewitnesses and the medical team that saved his life on Jan. 29, the network said. He will also focus on the military's medical recovery teams and the stories of other injured soldiers from Iraq and their families.

Woodruff is still undergoing outpatient therapy for his traumatic brain injury, the network said.
