Progress has been made in diagnosing and treating epilepsy, but discrimination unfortunately
continues. The Epilepsy Foundation’s Jeanne A. Carpenter Epilepsy Legal Defense Fund fights
epilepsy discrimination across all aspects of an individual’s life, including work, school, and community life. It accomplishes these goals through public education, increased access to
legal services, and advocating for changes in discriminatory practices, policies, and laws.

1, Employment
2. Education
3. Public accommodations (such as camps, childcare facilities, stores, hotels, theaters)
4. Programs and services, including police and first responder training
5. Housing
6. Insurance
7. Criminal justice concerns
