Snoezelen, or controlled
multisensory environment (MSE), is a therapy for people with autism and
other developmental disabilities, dementia or brain injury. It consists
of placing the person in a soothing and stimulating environment, called
the “Snoezelen room”. These rooms are specially designed to deliver
stimuli to various senses, using lighting effects, color, sounds, music,
scents, etc. The combination of different materials on a wall may be
explored using tactile senses, and the floor may be adjusted to
stimulate the sense of balance. The person is usually accompanied by an
aide or therapist.
Originally developed in the Netherlands in the 1970s, Snoezelen rooms
have been established in institutions all over the world and are
especially common in Germany, where more than 1,200 exist.
