Are strobe lights legal in public places?

Mon, 01/16/2017 - 10:04
What are the rules regarding the Americans with Disabilities Act and strobe lights? My daughter, who has photosensitive epilepsy, wanted to go roller skating with her Girl Scout troop. The roller rink uses strobes and refused to turn them off for her. Is that discrimination? Do I have a case to file a complaint?
