Sensory Environments

sensory environment
Sensory Environments evolved from the Dutch concept of ‘Snoezelen’ in the 1980s. They are specifically designed environments which enable people with special needs to enjoy a very wide range of sensory experiences for therapy, learning, stimulation, relaxation and fun.

There has been a tremendous amount of development since those pioneering days, both in the variety of uses and the technical advancement of the equipment used.

The following pages will give you some idea of extent and variety of use of sensory work in schools, hospitals, museums and private houses. Uses for sensory rooms include: education curriculum work, sensory integration, relaxation, reminiscence work, development, communication skills, drama, exploration of the senses, creating a quiet space, pain relief, massage and aroma therapy, counselling and assessment.

Sensory environments can be created to fullfil almost any need.
