Snoezelen
Snoezelen is a concept in which an indoor environment is created mainly to produce gentle relaxation, security and comfort by using controllable stimuli. The specifically furnished room offers a multitude of sensorial stimulation. The user can discover the world of senses by experiencing both the individual and the combined effect of music, notes, sounds, light effects, tactile stimulation and aromas. The room design has a positive therapeutic effect on the user and utilizes light and sounds to build interest and motivation, unlock tension and defensive behaviours, opening users to relaxation and acceptance.
