Sunflower lanyard: toward neuroaffirming practice

Our research found that both professionals and consumers are calling for hospitals to be more neuroaffirming spaces. One practical and effective example of how to improve culture within a hospital is the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower program.

By adopting the Sunflower lanyard in your hospital or office, you can take a small but powerful step toward being more neuroaffirming. It communicates that you are willing to listen, adjust, and respect Autistic people and that you understand what hidden disabilities are, and the impact that might have on pregnancy and early parenthood.
