Snoezelen is for all ages and abilities


Snoezelen room for early age

From the moment we wake up, we constantly experience a wide range of sensory information from the world around us: auditory, visual, tactile, olfactory, gustatory, vestibular and proprioceptive as well as intraceptive. During development, we learn how to respond to these different stimuli. The more we are exposed to stimuli, the more our neural pathways in the brain are established and our responses become more efficient.

In addition to encouraging the development of sensory processing, encouraging young children to engage in a variety of activities can help improve fine and gross motor skills and enable professionals and parents to view and assess a child’s level of ability in an informal way. Observation can emphasize special needs or sensitivities to a particular type of stimulus such as light or sound and provide timely support.

“Sensory play is not only fun, but also a fundamental part of early human development.”

Snoezelen room for mental health

Things change around us, whether positive or negative, and we are not always responsible for them or in controlling what happens. These things can have a huge impact on how we live and how we feel. Experiencing severe illness, sudden or prolonged trauma, loss of loved ones, decreased functional abilities, loss of life roles, employment or home, all together can affect thought patterns and emotions. Our behavior can change as we deal with new situations. Multi-sensory environments can be personalized to create a safe place for clients to fully relax and be more receptive to therapeutic interventions. Snoezlen rooms allow both the client and therapist to create impressive environments where they do not feel threatened, and can feel calm and secure.

Snoezelen for the elderly

The term “dementia” describes progressive disorders that affect the brain, such as Alzheimer’s disease, vascular dementia and dementia of Lewy bodies. These conditions affect the thinking, mood, behavior, abilities of the individual, which is reflected in daily activities and leisure. If they do not have proper activities and have nothing to do, people with dementia can feel isolated, frustrated, bored and unhappy. Sensory activities provide a certain level of stimulation, which increases awareness and attention due to the simplicity of the task. Auditory stimulation in the sensory environment
