CHALLENGES OF PEOPLE WITH MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS AND CEREBRAL PALSY 3IntroductionPeople with disability are normally considered unable participants in the job market be it as a volunteer or a paid worker. They are often denied the chance to participate in existing employment opportunities due to the employer analogy that these people will be a liability to their organizations. These adverse barriers impact negatively to the livelihood of people with disability. The discrimination, stigma, stereotypes, and prejudice at the workplace not only lowertheir morale but also lead to quitting or resigning from their jobs (Ruhindwa, Randal & Cartmel, 2016, pg.4). Nevertheless, some people living with disabilities to participate in the workforce and make valuable contributions as far as economic development and personal empowerment is concerned. Since everyone aspires to be economically independent, people with disability cannotafford to be left behind (Bhattacharye & Long, 2015). This study unravels the challenges that people who suffer from multiple sclerosis and cerebral palsy go through in the workforce. Additionally, it explains on possible interventions that can be followed to improve their outcomes and productivity in their respective organizations. It highlights on supportive techniques and rehabilitation practices that could help boost the way of life of people with multiple sclerosis and cerebral palsy.FindingsMultiple Sclerosis (MS) is a lasting neural illness that affects young people in their primelife of work. It is a disorder that is mainly associated with a heavy burden on the brain as well as a decreased ability of an individual to remain working. It mainly affects the central nervous system that comprises of the brain and the spinal cord (Bode, Schwartz, Quaranto & Volmer, 2012, p.1626). A person suffering from multiple sclerosis suffers a lot of challenges in his or her central nervous system. The immune system of the body turns against its own host by attacking the myelin coating which is a substance that protects the nerve fibers. These attacks by the immune system end up damaging the myelin hence disrupting message passing to the brain via the spinal cord. Mostly, the messages are slowed down, distorted or they end up jumping to another nerve fiber.Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an illness that is referred to as an individual condition. It is known to affect people differently. This unique property of this kind of defect is that people get

There exist very many different symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis that one individual can have all of them. Mostly, people are diagnosed with a relapse-remitting syndrome which is a form of multiple sclerosis. This is an attack of multiple symptoms of MS and can last for days, weeks or even months. The relapse is followed by a time of remission where the earlier symptoms improve and even go away with time. According to Bode et al. (2012, p.1630), the period of remission can last for months or even years.Another physical disability that affects people and lowers their economic productivity in the job market is cerebral palsy. Cerebral palsy is a collective that is used to refer to a group of chronic conditions that affect muscle contractions and body movements. It is caused by damage to specific areas of the brain that can occur specifically during the development of the baby before birth or during the infancy period. Therefore, the defects do not do not occur due to muscle problems or poor development of nerves. The poor development of motor parts in the brain affects the brain's ability to effectively control movements of muscles hence hindering mobility and affecting the posture of the baby. Therefore, cerebral is the brain while palsy is muscle weaknesses or poor control of the muscles hence hindering movement (Derose, 2014). Cerebral palsy is mostly a non-progressive ailment but other conditions might develop over time that comprises of muscle spasticity which can worsen the situation over time. It is a defect that is mainly caused by the inability to effectively control the mobility parts of the body especially the muscle movement and coordination by the brain. Cerebral palsy causes several conditions depending on the areas damaged in the brain. These conditions are muscle tightness, gait disturbance involuntary movements, swallowing difficulties, and problems in speech especially in constructing continuous sentences. Other effects that cerebral palsy can cause include abnormal sensation, sight impairment, perception, hearing mental retardation and seizures. These conditions lead to difficulties during feeding, inability to control the bowel region, problems during breathing due to postural difficulties, skin problems caused by pressure sores, and the inability to effectively teach (Schwartz et al, 2013, p.976).There are four types of cerebral palsy namely spastic cerebral palsy, ataxic cerebral palsy,athetoid cerebral palsy and mixed cerebral palsy. Spastic cerebral palsy is where people have very stiff and rigid movements because their muscles are very tight. Hand grip and other
