Since 2019, we have worked with the Invisible Disabilities Association, based in Parker, Colorado to produce disability identification cards. With our ID badges, the Invisible Disabilities Association has helped thousands of people living with invisible disabilities alert medical providers, first responders and others about their specialized needs.
The InstantCard Individual Card Ordering (ICO) system allows the Invisible Disabilities Association to provide disability identification cards to individuals with invisible disabilities safely, securely, and without incurring institutional costs or staff time.
Mission and Vision
The frequently invisible nature of illness and pain may lead to disbelief about that illness or pain by those surrounding the person who lives daily with invisible disabilities. Our mission is to encourage, educate and connect people and organizations touched by illness, pain and disability around the globe. Envision with us, a world where people living with illness, pain and disability will be Invisible No More®.
Invisible Disability Cards
The IDA logo is the universal symbol for disability and our goal is that it will be recognized by: first responders and medical personnel; retail establishments; transportation companies and facilities; educational institutions; hospitality venues and accommodations; your friends, families and coworkers; and ultimately the public at large. Send them to www.ndid.help for ideas on ways they can provide you help.
We hope this Identification Card will support you in living with illness, pain or disability if you are in need of help while in public locations. You are not alone! Many people living with invisible disabilities report they are often overlooked or even disregarded, because their challenges are not evident to others. Even if you use an assistive device like a wheelchair, scooter, crutches or cane, others may still not know if you need help or what your needs are. This ID Card may be worn around your neck or kept in your pocket or wallet. Present the ID Card to help you request assistance.
