Individual advocacy

Individual advocacy involves working with and/or on behalf of people with multiple sclerosis or their care partners in the community to help them obtain needed services and maximize their quality of life. Individual advocacy may entail the following:

• Helping individuals with multiple sclerosis obtain needed services
• Helping individuals with information related to current MS therapies.
  
  Some resources available for individuals to help them advocate for themselves include:
  
  
  • Advocating for Yourself: The Disability Tax Credit and You
    
    
  • Provincial Drug Cost Reimbursement Programs for the MS Therapies - Ontario residents
    
    
  • Status of MS Treatments in Canada - Revised Update on Betaseron, Rebif, Avonex and Copaxone
