I Need Help with School: A Guide for Parents of Children with Autism & Asperger's Syndrome

As an educational advocate, Rebecca Moyes knows that many parents struggle to navigate the complexities of designing an Individualized Education Program that 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. The book also tackles important issues that will come up during your child's early school experience: developing social skills, addressing challenging behaviors, encouraging self-esteem, and dealing with teasing and bullying. If your child has autism or Asperger's Syndrome and you have questions about how to make school a positive experience for your child, this is the book for you.
