How do you let a potential employer know that you have a disability like epilepsy without jeopardizing your chances of employment?
Unless they ask you directly, you don't have to tell them. And if they do ask you, they can't choose not to hire you because of your epilepsy. After you are hired, it is probably a good idea to tell them for safety reasons. I disagree! For your safety and those around you,tell them! Should they choose to fire you, sue them for discrimination. A few restrictions could apply ( for safety) but I would not call epilepsy a disability to the point of not being able to work. I have epilepsy, for 22 years, and still working! When you are applying for employment in Canada (at least in the teaching profession) you have to inform them about your epilepsy. It is a health and safety issue. I have epilepsy (for 38 years now) and found that honesty is the best policy. Once the issue is out in the open many people are interested in the topic and ask you questions about it. Just be prepared to reassure employers and coworkers that it does not affect your work performance.

Can your employer fire you for having epilepsy and can they tell your future employers that you have epilepsy?
That could depend on the circumstances. If you had not told them you have it and this had an impact on your employment, then they may well be within their rights to fire you. If they fire you just for having epilepsy and it has no impact on your work, then they may be open to charges of discriminating against you and you could have a case of unfair dismissal.
What are the disabilities of a person that has seizure's?
People with epilepsy do not have a disability. The majority of people with epilepsy live perfectly normal lives. It is only when they are having a seizure that their epilepsy affects them. There may be very long periods between their seizures: months or even years. Some people with more severe epilepsy and who get seizures more frequently do have certain restrictions on what they may be able to do, like driving, but this would not be regarded as a disability.
Do seizures cause reading disability?
Not directly. If someone has Epilepsy it maybe as a result of some damage to the brain. If they have some damage to the brain, that may impair their ability to learn. In that situation, their epilepsy is just another symptom of the same thing that is causing their learning difficulties. Not everyone that has learning difficulties has epilepsy. Most people with epilepsy are well capable of learning and it has no impact on their capacity to learn. If their epilepsy causes them to miss out on regular education, which would only be with someone who has severe epilepsy, that will obviously affect their learning.
