Zayed Higher Organisation for People of Determination and Abu Dhabi Airports launched new sensory rooms at Abu Dhabi International Airport, in collaboration with the Abu Dhabi Early Childhood Authority.

The two sensory units located in the play areas in Terminal One and Terminal Three, incorporate educational, recreational, and therapeutic techniques, through an integrated set of sensory experiences for children in an environment that helps them relax, focus, and learn.
Sensory rooms represent a modern relaxation method used as part of treatment and early intervention programs for children with autism. Abdullah Abdulalee Al Humaidan, Secretary-General of Zayed Higher Organization for People of Determination, praised the strategic partnership saying, “Our collaboration with Abu Dhabi Airports is a perfect model of teamwork among national organizations in Abu Dhabi to empower and integrate people of determination in the community. The launch of the facilities at Abu Dhabi International Airport is a significant milestone in this project due to the position of Abu Dhabi Airports as a leader in the aviation sector.
