Abstract Sensory processing disorder (SPD) is prevalent amongst a sizeable proportion of the population, afflicting at least 1 in 20 adults [1]. Cases of individuals having SPD appear to be trending upward among school-aged children, with 5-16% of these children being affected [2], many of whom have other cognitive impairments (e.g., ASD and ADHD) [3]. These travellers have difficulty navigating airports, which can be attributed in part to audio stimuli. Sensory rooms currently in use provide a space for those experiencing a breakdown to remove themselves from stimulating situations, but are not proactive in
