San Jose airport plans sensory room for neurodivergent children
San José Spotlight
San Jose Mineta International Airport is launching an 800-square-foot sensory room called The Nest to help neurodivergent children manage anxiety and sensory overload while traveling. Designed by the Children’s Discovery Museum of San Jose with input from autism advocates, the enclosed space features calming textures, soothing sounds, and quiet hideaways to provide a peaceful environment distinct from busy airport terminals. This initiative serves as the final component of the airport's broader accessibility campaign, which also includes sunflower lanyards and pre-flight acclimation tours.
