Lego Increases Disability Inclusion In Its Product Line
Lego is introducing new characters outfitted with an internationally recognized lanyard designed to quietly indicate that a person has a hidden disability and might need some extra support.
The company said this month that it is adding the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower lanyard to characters in a variety of sets. People can also create their own minifigures wearing the special Sunflower symbol at all 55 Minifigure Factories around the world “to give fans additional opportunities to design the character they want to see themselves, a friend or family member represented as.”
