Living with epilepsy shouldn’t stand in the way of your career goals. Thanks to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), you’re protected from discrimination at work—and entitled to reasonable accommodations if you need them. Whether you’re starting your first job or navigating a new role, knowing your rights can make a big difference. If your epilepsy affects major life activities, it qualifies as a disability under the law.

Epilepsy affects millions, yet stigma and misunderstanding still surround it—especially for young adults. Advocacy changes that. By raising awareness, educating others, and pushing for policy change, advocacy empowers people with epilepsy to speak up, find community, and shape a more inclusive future. It’s not just about being heard—it’s about being seen, supported, and driving real change.
