Epilepsy & Employment
One of the most challenging problems faced by people living with epilepsy is employment. Approximately 50% of people who have epilepsy experience difficulty finding and keeping a job. Of those who do find employment, up to 50% are under-employed, that is not employed in a position which reflects their qualifications and experience.
It is important for employers and people with seizure disorder to understand epilepsy, how it relates to their job, and to be aware of employment standards outlined and upheld in Ontario law.
