Epilepsy can affect anyone, at any age and at any time; more than two million, 150,000 of which are
Florida residents, are afflicted with some kind of Epilepsy. Although Epilepsy poses the greatest
barrier to employment with unemployment rates estimated to fall between twenty and twenty-five
percent, people who have Epilepsy make reliable and conscientious workers in job performance,
productivity, safety, cooperation and attendance.
