Working with Individuals with Multiple Sclerosis During the New Normal

ABSTRACT

This chapter is a discussion on working with individuals with multiple sclerosis (MS) during the new normal that has been occasioned by the ongoing coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) pandemic. Due to the pandemic, many jobs have been lost and people with disabilities have faced significantly higher rates of unemployment than have those without disabilities. This chapter provides insights and strategies to help facilitate and promote new directions for serving those with MS regarding topics such as remote employment and service delivery for individuals with MS, redesigning workspaces for safe working conditions, and insights into new accommodation requirements/strategies in the new normal based on the existing legal frameworks. © The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2022.
