I ordered this DVD, and it arrived very promptly. I've watched it and can say only good things about it.

Most impressively, it focused on particulars--like the problems some people have in seeing a curb dropoff when walking or wheeling along, or how to plan a pathway for yourself anywhere so that you don't bump into obstacles.

The little choices we make every day in getting from point A to point B, or in planning how to use our time each day--these can be very big choices for persons with MS, and the emphasis of this presentation is on those little details that matter.
