Collaboration with Hidden Disabilities Sunflower

Changefied is a proud partner of Hidden Disabilities Sunflower, the globally recognized symbol for people with a non-visible disability. The Sunflower lanyard makes it visible in a discreet yet clear way that someone needs extra support, more time, or extra understanding when traveling or participating in society.

What is the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower?

The Hidden Disabilities Sunflower is a green cord with sunflowers that can be worn as a lanyard, wristband, or badge. It lets employees in public transport, airports, education, retail, and leisure, among others, know that the wearer has an invisible disability, such as autism, ADHD, acquired brain injury, chronic conditions, anxiety, or sensory over- or under-stimulation. Without anyone having to explain everything, it quickly becomes clear that extra rest, explanation, or support can be helpful.

Why their mission aligns with Changefied

With our Virtual Reality solutions, such as Virtual Public Transport, Changefied helps neurodivergent people prepare for real-life situations, including traveling by public transport and sensory environments. In practice, the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower adds a recognizable and accessible symbol, enabling environments to better respond to the needs of our target groups. Together, we contribute to greater accessibility, inclusion, and predictability for people with a non-visible disability.

What does this mean for organizations and users?

Organizations working with the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower can train their employees to act with understanding and appropriateness, while simultaneously providing a clear recognizable sign for visitors with an invisible disability. For users, this creates a combination of better-trained employees, increased recognition, and greater control over challenging situations.
