Epilepsy & Employment
Persons living with epilepsy are often confronted with employment issues. To try to help resolve some of these, Epilepsy Ontario offers 2 kits.
Employment & Diversity: A Closer Look at Epilepsy in the Workplace presents useful information for both the employee with epilepsy and the employer of an employee with epilepsy and discusses issues both face in the workplace. These issues include accommodation, disclosure, stress, photosensitivity, the employee's rights and responsibilities, the employer's rights and responsibilities, and discrimination.
The Employment Training Kit has been created to help people with epilepsy prepare for employment and to learn how to make use of employment training programs which are available in Ontario. Lack of training and education is often the hurdle to employment. By going through this manual and using the available opportunities, you will be one step closer to being "employment ready".
