6. Multiple Sclerosis might need an accommodation of have their working room at 60s to 70s
degrees
7. Parkinsons disorder might need an accommodation of have their working at a hot
temperature room 8. Multiple Sclerosis will be working with their social skills because they
might have slurred speech. For this accommodation patients will need white broad with pictures,
if they have a hard time talk.
