Summary

Rebecca Moyes is one of the most respected authorities on education and advocacy for children with autism and Asperger's Syndrome. As a former teacher and the mother of a special needs child diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome, Rebecca lives the challenges of autism every day and has developed I Need Help With School! with a sincere desire to make the education process easier and more productive for parents and these special children. Rebecca now serves as an autism consultant and lives with her husband and children in Pennsylvania. As an educational advocate, Rebecca Moyes knows that many parents struggle to navigate the complexities of designing an individualized education program that acknowledges and addresses the special needs of their child. Moyes created I Need Help With School! to demystify special education laws and help parents understand their legal rights and the rights of their child. I Need Help With School! covers everything you need to know about the development of 504 Service Agreements and Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) in parent-friendly language designed especially for those dealing with autism and Asperger's Syndrome.
