You can obtain a Sunflower Lanyard from a DEN Ambassador or a Customer Service Agent at any of the four customer service information booths at DEN, located in the terminal and in the center of each concourse.

To support passengers with hidden disabilities, DEN has partnered with the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower organization to bring the Sunflower Lanyard Program to the airport. The green lanyard with sunflowers discreetly signals that the wearer, or a member in the group, has an invisible disability and may need additional support. Passengers who need assistance may also speak to a customer service agent at any of the information booths, marked with a sunflower decal.

There are no prerequisites for asking for or wearing the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower-branded lanyard. By wearing the lanyard, DEN team members can be signaled that a person has a hidden disability and may need extra support getting through the airport.

On the day of the flight, at the discretion of your airline, you can obtain a Dependent Needs Pass from the airline’s ticket counter.
