Skiing Without Limits: Inside the Life-Changing Work of Ogden Valley Adaptive Sports
Hidden Disabilities Sunflower Program in Ogden
Participants in The Hidden Disabilities Sunflower Program display a sunflower lanyard, which serves as a visual cue for trained staff to provide additional kindness, patience, and respect.
Use of the Sunflower lanyard is a way to discreetly alert staff that someone may require additional assistance, a vital visual cue that doesn’t bring unneeded stigmatization to individuals.
Participate in the Program
Ogden's participation in the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower Program significantly improves how visitors and locals with non-visible disabilities experience the community. Training for staff and partners to recognize the Sunflower lanyard means those needing extra help can get it discreetly, making Ogden a more welcoming place. This effort not only helps individuals feel supported but also strengthens community bonds by fostering an environment where everyone's needs are acknowledged and met.
If you would like items mailed to your home or business, we can send them to you at no cost! For more information on Visit Ogden’s participation in the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower Program, contact Caren Werner, Community Partnerships Manager, at
