Each state has some type of hearing and review procedure if it decides to deny or take away a license because of a medical condition. A few states require physicians to report the names of their patients with epilepsy to a state agency, usually the state DMV Most states rely on persons with epilepsy to report their condition on the questionnaire when they are applying for or renewing a license. Some also require people to report any seizures they have in between license renewals. Persons with epilepsy or a history of epilepsv may not be able to get certain types of commercial licenses. Children with epilepsy may be entitled to special education and related services if having epilepsy affects their educational performance.
Every state has laws providing for some kind of educational services for children with disabilities.
Parents who have questions about their child's right to special education or related services mav want to contact their local education agency or their state Protection and Advocacy agency. Sometimes, students with disabilities face obstacles to participation in educational programs, sports, or housing programs. The Americans with Disabilities Act forbids discrimination against qualified students with disabilities by educational institutions, including colleges and universities. Complaints about discrimination in education may be filed with DOJ or in court. If a school gets federal funds, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 would also prohibit it from discriminating.
