Editorial Review
Michelle Keating, RN, OCN, MSCN
This book may be helpful for health professionals to use as resource for information on tools that may help those persons with MS with disabilities. It would be also useful for people with MS to learn very simple and practical tips for everyday life. It is well organized by topic, easy to read, clearly written and with up-to-date references which include addresses, phone, and web sites. It does not provide in depth information on some topics such as travel, computer, or office adaptations. The index will be helpful to the reader to find the information they are looking for.
