ADA allows for reasonable accomodations. I am not an expert in ADA by any means but it seems that the league has accomodated him by allowing to play. If I remember right at least in the employment arena, when there is a saftey issue
emplyers can limit the jobs a person with a seizure might have, and if the safety of an individual or the public would be great they dont have to make any sort of accomodation. I doubt we would have to here.

Personally I would be inclined not to let the kid play. I am not sure that it would be reasonable to let him play. If the kid has a second seizure or further injures himself and someone is sued there are a whole ton of people who will guess and second guess to determine if the actions were reasonable or not and we will be in the middle of that court, and it wont be as referees..
