Everyone is equal, but we are not all the same. As part of our commitment to helping you feel confident that you will be supported with the extra time, care, patience or understanding you may need when visiting businesses and organizations that have adopted the Sunflower, we have Sunflower cards that you can personalize. Whether your non-visible disability is vision loss, not being able to stand for long periods or needing urgent access to restroom facilities, you can discreetly highlight the support you might need.
Make it personal — your way
In response to feedback from our Sunflower wearers about producing a wider variety of cards for specific non-visible disabilities and the type of support that is needed for each one, Sunflower wearers can add this information on the back of personalized Sunflower cards, or you can choose our new Sunflower Extra with a digital feature.
The original Sunflower personalized card
A physical card that you personalize by adding:
- Your photo - upload a high-resolution, clear photograph of yourself
- Your name - add the name that you want people to use when addressing you
- Details of the type of help you need - use the generic description on the condition-specific cards, or add your own on our plain Sunflower card
- Sunflower icons - Use one of our Sunflower icons to provide a quick visual cue about the type of support you need
- A contact - add a name and number to be contacted with your consent, or in an emergency

The Sunflower icons
Both cards use our Sunflower icons - a quick visual cue about the type of support you need.
These icons represent different types of support someone might require, such as needing extra time, help with communication, or access to a quiet space. They are designed to promote understanding and improve accessibility in public spaces by providing clear, discreet signals about the type of support an individual may need.
