Some examples of disabilities that may not be immediately obvious include autism, anxiety, chronic pain, dementia, or learning difficulties.
Students studying at Wodonga TAFE may choose to wear the Sunflower in the form of a lanyard or wristband to discreetly show teachers and staff that they need additional support, help, understanding, or even a little more time.
