Not all disabilities are visible which can make having a hidden disability challenging as people sometimes struggle to believe or understand why someone with a “non-visible” condition may need support.
The Hidden Disability Sunflower serves to help those with a hidden disability discreetly signal to others in shops, workplaces, public transport and other public spaces that you may need a helping hand, understanding or more time when out and about.
Due to the Sunflowers increasing popularity, most people are aware of the Sunflower lanyard, but did you know that you can also get a Sunflower for your car?
National Highways Hidden Disability Sunflower
Coming in the form of a magnet or sticker, The Hidden Disabilities Sunflower symbol for your vehicle subtly indicates that you may need additional support if you break down or need assistance on a motorway or major A-road in England.
You can pop the Sunflower on the rear end of your car to signal to roadside and emergency services that you or someone in your car has an invisible disability and may need help with:
- understanding instructions and communicating your needs
- staying calm at a time of stress
- getting to a place of safety
- moving and recovering an adapted vehicle
The sunflower will also urge National Highway traffic officers and emergency service responders to ask what additional support they can offer to help keep you safe.
How to get the Sunflower for your vehicle
The Hidden Disability Sunflower for your vehicle is free to road users in England. To get your Sunflower click here.
Once on the Sunflower site, you must first register or log in to your Sunflower account. After this, you can add one free Sunflower to your basket but be sure to choose the material that best suits your car and your needs (e.g., a magnet would be best for those that would like to take the Sunflower on and off depending on who is in the vehicle). Once you’ve chosen which Sunflower suits you best, go to checkout and use the discount code ONTHEROAD for free shipping.
