First-Ever Sensory Lab Opening Soon at SM Supermalls

SM Supermalls to Open First-Ever Sensory Lab at SM Mall of Asia

Soon, malling will be even more inclusive and comforting for everyone. SM Supermalls, through SM Cares, is introducing the SM Sensory Lab: Calming Corner — a free, thoughtfully designed space where individuals with sensory sensitivities such as autism, SPD, or anxiety can take a peaceful break from overstimulating environments. It’s a place for calm, care, and comfort right inside the mall.

Developed in partnership with DSWD, NCDA, and Autism Society Philippines, this new initiative shows SM’s ongoing mission to make every visit welcoming, safe, and accessible for all — redefining malling with empathy and inclusion.

Disability Inclusion Grows Nationwide through ASP Angels Walk for Autism

Thousands of Filipinos gathered across SM malls nationwide in a powerful show of support for the autism community during the ASP Angels Walk for Autism. From Luzon to Mindanao, families, advocates, and allies walked together—each step filled with love, purpose, and unity.

This month-long movement is building toward something even bigger: the grand culminating walk at the SM Mall of Asia Arena on May 18, 2025. Expect inspiring stories, unforgettable moments, and a wave of hope you won’t want to miss.

Let’s walk for awareness, acceptance, and a future that embraces every spectrum of ability.
