Sensory rooms are designed as safe places that provide a sensory experience to people, young and old. A sensory room was used for relaxation and de-escalation, when people with autism, emotional and behavioral difficulties, sensory processing disorder, or other special needs would find themselves overwhelmed and need a safe and distracting place to return to a state of calm.
The Shannon Airport purpose-built sensory room is available for passengers involved with the special assistance programme and is open 24 hours a day. It is located just across from the children’s play area in Departures Lounge and beside the Aviation Gallery.
