Hi All,

I've been asked if anyone has any information/guidance on someone who suffers from photosensitive epilepsy in a school environement? Whether there are any control meausres that can be put in place or any equipment that can be purchased to help the individual. I have no experiance in this field and would appreciate if any one can share information.

Sounds like one for Occupational Health - but this site may help Epilepsy Society | Transforming lives through advocacy, research and care

Morning JK - assuming that this relates to a pupil, I suggest also asking the pupil and their parent(s)/"appropriate adult"(s) what they think would be appropriate.

Depending on how recently the diagnosis has been made (and other variables) the condition might be well controlled by medication etc, and the patient might be in a much better position to advise on what is needed than Occupational Health.
