Rossy Robotina Posted September 19 Report Share Posted September 19 Hi everyone! I’m curious if anyone here has experience with the hidden disability lanyard that’s used in airports around the world. I recently requested one directly from Miami International Airport and am still waiting to hear back. Have any of you worn a lanyard in the past? I’d love to hear about your experiences and if you found any benefits from it. Did it help ease your travel experience in any way? If you’re interested, here’s a link for more information: [Hidden Disability Sunflower Lanyard](https://hdsunflower.com/). Thanks, Rossy.

Lauren Posted September 19 Report Share Posted September 19 Interesting. I’ve never heard of this before. I can see how this would be handy to people though. The design is pretty too. My own personal preference would be to speak to someone privately if I thought I would need assistance, but that’s just me.

MallaRuth Posted September 19 Report Share Posted September 19 I wear one of these at work. Not many people know what it means, but I feel like I am doing something that way, and hopefully it contributes towards generall awareness raising around differing needs and hidden disabilities. I'm thinking about getting some cute badges to pin on it as well. Lauren, Mary Beth and Rossy Robotina 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rossy Robotina Posted September 20 Author Report Share Posted September 20 @MallaRuthThank you for your reply! I did not know about it until I saw a post of that lanyard at the Miami Intl. Airport and its cool that they're actually trying to spread awareness about hidden disabilities! There are cute pins on Etsy related to hearing loss/ears and they're great for the lanyard! Keep me updated if you're getting them (maybe upload a pict to see how it looks!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deanne Posted September 22 Report Share Posted September 22 I picked one up for any trips I am thinking of. I may wear it when going to places that I have trouble hearing others...I hadn't thought about using it around town.... will keep you posted.
