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) (3) nonprofit organization was founded by Kelsey Schapker, in celebration of her son Camden, who is on the autism spectrum.  After extensive research Ms. Schapker put together sensory tool bags. The kits allow law enforcement, firefighters, airports, and other organizations to bring comfort to special needs children and adults in the event of a crisis, emergency, or stressful situation.
