Hi,
Handihams is for anyone with a disability.
He could get materials from Handiham Website if he joins.
You didn't say anything about what his specific needs are.
MS can vary so much.
If he can use a PC I know there are some study materials online.
If he can hold a book and turn pages he can get the Material in a book.
Depending on his needs on mobility there is probably a Class somewhere in his area if he wishes to learn that way.
If he his difficulty writing or reading the test he can get it read to him and indicate answers and have them written down.
I am sure you know that three hams who are VE's must be present for this testing and it must be announced as a Testing in the Local Community.
