New kids’ toys launched to help people with hidden disabilities
A miniature, toy version has been launched of a scheme to help people inform others they have a hidden disability.
The hidden disabilities sunflower lanyard scheme has been running for eight years.
The idea is to use the lanyards to inform the public that anybody wearing one might need extra help.
Emma meets Paul White, who founded the scheme.
She gets a demonstration of the new Lego figures from 14-year-old Jayden, who has a heart condition known as long QT Syndrome, and her mum, Tasha, who has three other children who also have hidden disabilities.
Also on the show - to mark Disability History Month, we hear from historian Professor David Turner
Presenter: Emma Tracey
Producers: Daniel Gordon, Alex Collins
Sound recording and mixing: Dave O'Neill
Editor: Farhana Haider
