Mobile Hidden lanyard scheme/deaf assistance at Disney

I had posted this below elsewhere but think it will get more traffic here.

Also interested in what help people with hearing difficulties have had at Disney - I read something about help with captions.


Anyone any experience.
I’ve seen a few posts about this. It’s mostly people I know with children who have autism.
I was thinking of getting one for husband who has a multitude of hidden issues - deafness, diabetes, epilepsy and most important mobility issues which means he can’t stand for long periods.
Has anyone had any experience. Most people I know have flown from UK to Europe. Will it be recognised in the US?

Is this the sunflower lanyard?

This is for all hidden disabilities not just autism so your husband could also get this.

It's recognised in Orlando and I think most airports worldwide now too. When entering the immigration hall they will take you to a separate desk and get you through quicker. I hope this helps and apologies if I'm completely off the ball here x

My husband is profoundly deaf , and no the lanyard isn’t recognised in Disney not for deafness , there are many ways Disney helps with hearing loss, from closed captioning to sign langauage interpreters (although they sign in asl not bsl) , if you go to guest services The is a booklet you can get for what help is avalible for hearing loss.
We both sign , and use a mixture of this and additional help
