Hello,
She can safely travel while suffering from a seizure disorder. The only thing you should make sure that the anti-seizure drugs have to be taken. Do not skip a medicine as it will provoke a seizure.
Try to avoid high-risk activities like driving or handling heavy objects. There is no low to prevent one from traveling with seizure.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
