Beschreibungen/Notizen

• This article presents the results of a survey of the Epilepsy Foundation affiliates in the United States and Puerto Rico, regarding the employment-related questions and concerns of people with epilepsy. The survey also explored how Epilepsy Foundation affiliates advise people with epilepsy about disclosing epilepsy status in the employment-seeking process. Some of the major employment-related questions and concerns reported by the affiliates included identifying resources to help in finding a job, questions about disclosure of epilepsy status in job applications, questions about job-related discrimination or Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) violations, questions about the ADA, and questions about how to deal with co-workers or supervisors. Implications and design limitations are discussed.
