Advocacy

We advocate to ensure that each client is not only having their needs met — but that their voice is being heard.

Standing Up for People with Epilepsy

Epilepsy can create several challenges and can sometimes leave clients feeling hopeless or that they have nowhere to turn. We're here to change that.

Disability Applications

We help clients navigate the process of applying for disability benefits or appealing a decision. Our staff can assist with paperwork and represent your interests throughout the process.

Educational Representation

We can represent a client in an educational planning meeting — including IEP meetings and 504 plan discussions — to ensure students with epilepsy receive the accommodations they need.

Legislative Awareness

We work to increase awareness of epilepsy and epilepsy-related issues with legislators and representatives at the local, state, and national level so that policy reflects the real needs of our community.

Work & School Issues

We assist clients who are facing challenges in the workplace or at school related to their epilepsy diagnosis — including discrimination, accommodation requests, and employment rights.
