- Session Outline
Multiple Sclerosis is the most common neurological disorder affecting people in the prime of their life. There are a number of teachers with MS. There is currently no cure. This means that those affected will have an ongoing challenge in balancing their teaching career with having MS, and dealing with the day to day issues of family, finances, health, fitness etc.
Some people’s MS is well managed, others need more help to maintain their career. Part of the effective management of MS is having a holistic management strategy.
