Hidden disabilities

The Sunflower Lanyard

Not all disabilities are visible.

Some disabilities are not immediately obvious, such as autism, chronic pain, dementia, anxiety, visual or hearing impairment.

Living with a hidden disability can make daily life more demanding for many people, but it can be difficult for others to recognise, acknowledge or understand the challenges you face.

Wearing the hidden disability Sunflower Lanyard discreetly indicates to people around you including staff, colleagues and health professionals that you may need additional support, help or a little more time.
