Introduction

This module is all about choosing a career for people with epilepsy. After instructional explanations, you are repeatedly encouraged to reflect on yourself, your professional wishes, goals and limitations, and thereby also look for potential solutions and perspectives. The first section is about your own professional wishes. In the second section, these wishes are linked to the limiting factors of your epilepsy. In the third and last section we look at the role of legal frameworks, governmental support and counseling.
