N2 - This article describes findings from an empirical investigation of the pattern of Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Title I case resolutions by the United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) involving people with multiple sclerosis (MS) in comparison to the pattern of ADA Title I case resolutions involving all other people with disabilities since 1993. Chi-square analysis revealed that people with MS are more likely than all other complainants to have charges resolved with the issuance of a right to sue letter. People with MS are less likely than other complainants to have charges resolved via administrative closures. Implications of these findings for vocational rehabilitation practice are presented.
