Abstract
This paper examines employment issues for women diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS) and their workplace experiences, focusing analysis on the social and institutional dimensions of the environment. The analysis draws on data from a mixed method study using in-depth interviews and a survey. The findings indicate that although severity of symptoms affect employment status, non-medical factors, including modification of work conditions and understanding employers, and a supportive home environment with the possibility of delegating household tasks, can enhance women's ability to work. The specific focus in the paper on the experiences of women managing their disability in the workplace, from the qualitative phase of the study, acts as an analytic device to illustrate how context influences the way in which such factors play out. In high-lighting the issue of disclosure of diagnosis, and associated identity and income concerns for women, the paper demonstrates the importance of the social and institutional dimensions of environment in shaping occupational performance. The findings suggest that inclusion of environmental analysis in clinical practice broadens the range of intervention strategies to be considered and raises the issue of occupational therapists' role in advocacy.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
