This comes after the death of late Disney star Cameron Boyce, who played one of Sandler's children in Grown Ups.
The 20-year-old was found unconscious at his home in North Hollywood on 6 July, 2019.
His family said at the time that he had suffered a seizure as a result of 'an ongoing medical condition', before confirming days later that he had epilepsy.
Parents Libby and Victor were unaware that the condition could cause fatal seizures, known as Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy (SUDEP).
Libby told The Independent in 2021: "It is the number one neurological disease and we don't talk about it. People, for some reason, don't feel free to discuss their diagnosis. There's just not enough awareness and there's not enough education for those people who are newly diagnosed.

"One in 26 people have epilepsy. Everybody knows somebody who has epilepsy, yet we never talked about it."
Victor said: "It's stigmatised. It's similar to gay people being closeted. It's similar to people with mental health issues, [and people] try to hide it because you get stigmatised and you get marginalised.
"One of the things we're going to do is to destigmatise it, to bring it into the mainstream, to get it out from under the carpet, and shine a light on it.
"Let's talk about it, because people with epilepsy need information. They need to to know what to do if they have a seizure.

"We're trying to arm people with information and put them in touch with the right kind of healthcare providers, and the right kind of hospitals."
