You could also try the Association of Photographers.
http://hub.the-aop.org/
They have information services and support students.

Subject: Re: Flash photography and epilepsy
How about writing to one of the excellent photography magazines/online sites
and asking if any readers have solutions for this? I'm thinking that since
epilepsy is rather common, there must surely be a number of amateur or even
professional photographers out there with the same concerns?
Canon have a very pro-active help service on their website, or try Amateur
Photographer magazine?

Hello,
I am currently advising a student with photosensitive epilepsy who is
doing a course involving photography.
The problem seems to be arising with the flash equipment, in that the
student is understandably reluctant to use the equipment in case it
triggers a seizure, and the tutors are becoming concerned about meeting
learning outcomes.
Has anyone got any experience or advice they could offer?
Thanks in advance,
Erin
