This review of the literature examined the association between demographic variables of individuals with multiple sclerosis and specialized housing needs. Since MS symptoms present a unique challenge to housing caregivers and rehabilitation management, understanding the association between the demographic variables and specialized housing will facilitate effective planning, referral and recommendation for specialized housing.
RESULTS:
The common themes that emerged from the literature review as factors that affect specializing housing needs of individuals with MS include age, gender, income/employment, race/ethnicity and social life
CONCLUSIONS:
Implications for rehabilitation practice are discussed.
