HIDDEN DISABILITY-SUNFLOWER PROGRAM
A hidden disability may not always be obvious, and the individual may not be able to tell you. PTI is now a proud member of the Hidden Disability Sunflower Lanyard program. The program brings awareness aimed at discretion for individuals with a non-visual disability by having the sunflower lanyard on it alert the airport staff that the individual may need additional time or have additional questions while traveling.
CAMSE KIT PROGRAM
PTI is proud to announce that we are part of the Camse Kit program. This 501 (c) was founded after the Schapker family discovered that their son was diagnosed with autism. After extensive research, Ms. Schapker put together the sensory tool bags! Now goes all over the country, educating fire, police, and airlines on what to expect and how this sensory tool kit can help in a multitude of situations. The Camse Kits have the following items.
