MS does not inhibit the education of people with MS, their families or careers.

In a modern economy, education is critical to obtain good jobs. In addition, participating in the education of one’s children is a central role of being a parent. In order to participate in these activities, people with MS need educational institutions to accept their disabilities and accommodate their special needs. For example, they can allow people with MS to take classes in the morning when fatigue is less, reduce classroom temperature, allow tape recording or note takers for people with cognitive disabilities and provide distance learning opportunities.

9.1. Schools, colleges and other educational institutions must provide assistance for people with MS when needed, to enable them to pursue education to the extent of their abilities. Ref 15,19

9.2. Schools, colleges and other educational institutions must be physically accessible to people with disabilities, including people with MS.

9.3. Schools must provide assistance to parents with MS when needed so that they can participate in their children’s student programmes, in school volunteer activities, and in parent-teacher conferences.
