This study examined salient disability, demographic, psychosocial, and neuropsychological variables as predictors of employment stability for vocational rehabilitation clients with MS served at the University of Washington (1998–2003). Although a number of variables were initially significantly related to vocational stability (e.g., Personal Capacities Questionnaire score, number of months employed in the last 2 years, and the Activities of Daily Living-MS Scale score), only the FAS Controlled Oral Word Association Test-3, a measure of verbal fluency and executive functioning, remained significant (p < 0.01) when controlling for multiple comparisons. Implications are discussed in relation to vocational rehabilitation assessment and intervention planning.
