Epilepsy and Legal Rights

Are you wondering?

• Do I have to disclose epilepsy during my job interview?
• What is a reasonable accommodation?
• What are my child’s legal rights in schools and child care?
• What if I’m arrested for seizure-related behavior?

The Legal Defense Fund has prepared a series of fact sheets and advocacy materials to educate the public about the legal rights of people with epilepsy.

If you are facing discrimination because of epilepsy, or helping someone who is, use the fact sheet(s) as an advocacy tool. Share them with employers, employees, educators, healthcare professionals, or advocates – anyone who can help end discrimination for people with epilepsy.
