Hidden Disabilities Sunflowers’ vision is a world where no one is left out or overlooked. Where people with non-visible disabilities are recognized, respected, and fully included in all areas of life. Where environments are supportive, accessible, and inclusive.
Our company creates positive change by enabling individuals with non-visible disabilities, conditions, and chronic illnesses to use the Sunflower symbol to indicate they may need additional support, understanding, or time. It is a simple tool for you to share that you have a hidden disability voluntarily. Simply by wearing the Sunflower, you’re just letting everyone know that you might need extra help, understanding, or just more time.
