The Sunflower Program

Hidden Disabilities 

The Patrick Leahy Burlington International Airport is a proud member of the Sunflower Program. 

Some disabilities, conditions or chronic illnesses are not immediately obvious to others. For some people, this can make it hard to understand and believe that someone, with a “non-visible” condition genuinely needs support. Some people question whether you have a disability because you don’t look ‘like you have a disability”.

That is why we created the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower – to encourage inclusivity, acceptance and understanding.

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.

To request Sunflower Materials for when you fly out of Leahy BTV, please fill out this form: Sunflower Program: Lanyard Request.

We kindly request up to two weeks to request so that we can ensure on time delivery. 

Please note – we may only distribute lanyards for passengers flying through Leahy BTV. To see all airport’s participating please visit: Airports around the world.
