Sunflower Lanyard Program

The Hidden Disabilities Sunflower Program is a simple way for people with non-visible disabilities, conditions, or sensory needs to discreetly let others know that they may need extra patience, understanding, or support. By wearing a sunflower lanyard, travelers can signal to participating airports, airlines, attractions, and businesses that they may benefit from additional assistance without having to explain their disability.

The program is completely voluntary, and wearing a sunflower lanyard does not provide special access or allow travelers to skip lines. Instead, it helps create awareness and understanding for individuals with autism, ADHD, anxiety, PTSD, chronic illnesses, and many other invisible disabilities. Many airports around the world now participate in the program, making it a valuable tool for some travelers who want a little extra support during their journey.
