What is the Hidden Disabilities Program?
The Hidden Disabilities Program is designed to help people with disabilities that are not immediately visible. By using symbols such as the Sunflower lanyard, this program allows individuals with special needs to receive the support and understanding they need in public settings.
How Does It Work?
By wearing the Sunflower lanyard or other program symbols, individuals can discreetly indicate that they have a hidden disability. This makes it easier for trained staff in various places, such as airports, train stations, stores, and public events, to recognize and provide the necessary assistance.
Program Benefits
Greater Understanding and Patience: The symbols help others to be more aware and patient, providing a more inclusive environment.
Additional Assistance: In public places, staff are trained to offer additional assistance to those wearing the program symbols.
Peace of Mind for Families: Neurodiverse families can feel more secure and supported knowing there is a system in place to help them with their daily activities.
Ideal for Traveling, Attending Public Events, or Shopping
The Hidden Disabilities Program is especially beneficial when traveling, attending public events, or shopping. In airports and train stations, staff can offer special assistance, such as easing the passage through security and providing extra time to adapt to busy environments. At public events, the program ensures that staff are prepared to offer necessary support. In stores and shopping centers, staff can provide additional assistance, ensuring the shopping experience is as comfortable and stress-free as possible.
Global Expansion of the Program
Since its launch in 2016, businesses from every sector have been joining the global Sunflower network. This includes sectors such as retail, travel and tourism, transport (including over 200 airports, railway networks, coach and bus services, and ferries), education (universities, schools, and colleges), healthcare, central and local government agencies, football teams, theme parks, theaters, and financial institutions.
Recommended for Neurodiverse Families
We highly recommend the Hidden Disabilities Program to all neurodiverse families. This valuable resource not only improves the quality of life but also fosters a more understanding and supportive environment for everyone.
