Snoezelen therapy is a unique form of multi-sensory stimulation that is used to promote relaxation, emotional well-being, and developmental growth in children, especially those with special needs. The term “Snoezelen” was coined in the Netherlands and refers to an environment designed to stimulate the senses through various experiences such as light, sound, touch, and smell.

Snoezelen therapy takes place in a specially designed room or space filled with sensory equipment like soft lighting, colorful visual displays, gentle music, textured objects, and calming scents. The goal is to provide a safe, comforting environment where children can explore different sensory experiences at their own pace, helping them to relax and engage with the world around them.
