New airport program seeks to recognize hidden disabilities

This interview originally aired on In the Moment on SDPB Radio.

The Rapid City Regional Airport recently adopted a new program aimed at helping passengers with invisible disabilities.

The Hidden Disabilities Sunflower Program discreetly shows airport staff that the person wearing a sunflower lanyard may need extra assistance.

Megan Johnson is the marketing, communications and air service development manager at the Rapid City Regional Airport. She joined In the Moment to discuss how the program works and why simple actions matter.
