Employment Issues and MS

[Lulu54]

Justrum,
I assume you will find this but I started it as a separate discussion so others will find it too. Sorry folks if this has been covered before.

My daughter just brought me a new book from the library -
Employment Issues and Multiple Sclerosis, 2nd edition.  2008. Rumrill, Hennessey and Nissen.  ISBN 9781932603644.


If your local library doesn't have a copy you may want to order one online.
It is available through Amazon.com for about $15.  


From the back cover, here is what it has betweeen the covers:

"...essential reading for any person with S who has questions regrding employemtn and disability. Chapters covr everything from vocational rehabilitation to job placement to the lawsd covering employment.

This update edition includes:
*a new chater detailing employee rights regarding medical leave, health insurance prortability and accountability, and coninuation of benefits.
* a new chapter on Social Security Disability Insurance programs
*An expanded and updated chapter on the Americans with Disabilities Act
*An expanded and updated chapter on employment services for people with MS"

I personally don't think I will have employment issues but it still looks like a good book and I will definitely be reading it before it has to go back to the library. I may even buy a copy to put aside as a reference.

You're welcome, I can't contribute much here yet from personal experience but I can read and do research!!  The book really covers a lot in a very easy to understand format.

Take care,
Laura
