New sensory-friendly room at Changi Airport T2 to support neurodivergent travellers

The Straits Times

October 18, 2025

Neurodivergent travellers can now better manage sensory overload and travel-related stress in a new sensory-friendly space at Changi Airport’s Terminal 2.

- Sherlyn Sim

The Calm Room, situated at the terminal’s departure transit area, is the latest initiative under the CARE@Changi programme, which strives to create a more inclusive travel experience, the Changi Airport Group (CAG) said in a release on Oct 17.

Spanning over 200 sq m - slightly bigger than a five-room or executive HDB flat — the room features four zones designed to give neurodivergent travellers and their caregivers a place to rest and find relief.

The room’s design was developed with organisations like AWWA and Metta Welfare Association, and CAG also engaged families of people with invisible disabilities through interviews and user feedback sessions.
