THE U.S. EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY COMMISSION QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT EPILEPSY IN THE WORKPLACE AND THE AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT (ADA) INTRODUCTION The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is a federal law that prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities. Title I of the ADA covers employment by private employers with 15 or more employees as well as state and local government employers of the same size. Section 501 of the Rehabilitation Act provides the same protections for federal employees and applicants for federal employment. In addition, most states have their own laws prohibiting employment discrimination on the basis of disability. Some of these state laws may apply to smaller employers and provide protections in addition to those available under the ADA. The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) enforces the employment provisions of the ADA. This document explains how the ADA might apply to job applicants and employees with epilepsy.

Click on the icon above to see an overview of our site. Need help or advice? Click on the phone icon. The Lion lights the way to our home page. Photosensitive Epilepsy What is it? Photosensitive epilepsy is an uncommon condition in which visual stimuli, such as flashing or flickering lights (usually of high intensity, and/or certain patterns such as stripes) trigger epileptic seizures. It is one of a group of "reflex" epilepsies, so called, because the seizure is a direct response to a stimulus. Who has it? Around one person in every 130 is diagnosed as having epilepsy whereas only one in about every 10,000 has photosensitive epilepsy. Among people with epilepsy, only an estimated 3 - 5% have seizures triggered by light or patterns. Photosensitive epilepsy most commonly affects children. The age of onset is usually between 9 and 15 years. It is rare to have a first seizure due to photosensitivity before the age of 5 or after the early 20's. It is genetically determined. Girls are affected more often than boys. Some photosensitive people have seizures only when they are exposed to a flashing or flickering light source or to certain patterns; others may have spontaneous seizures as well as seizures due to photosensitivity. The type of seizure e.g. tonic clonic, absence, myoclonic will vary from person to person.
