Sunflower Lanyards
Hidden Disabilities Sunflower Lanyard
In early 2021, the Airport launched the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower Lanyard to raise awareness and increase accessibility for people with non-visible disabilities. This program helps others identify when support may be needed for those with disabilities such as memory loss, anxiety, or other conditions that may not be immediately obvious to other people. With its roots in the UK, the “sunflower scheme” is starting to be recognized in various airports in the United States. Moving forward, people may be able to take the lanyards from one destination to the next to continue to raise awareness.
Each information desk has a supply of sunflower lanyards, please only give lanyards to the person with the disability and not to all members of the traveling group.
