Careers

For many people with epilepsy, their condition is not a barrier to their choice of career. Most careers are open to people with epilepsy, and the disability discrimination laws require employers to make reasonable adjustments to workplaces and jobs. Some restrictions may be placed on careers such as the armed forces. For caring professions such as teaching or nursing a person may need to have good seizure control before they can train. Skill, the National Bureau for Students with Disabilities can give further information.
