Enjoying the Emily’s House Snoezelen Room
Some great photos from our Recreation Coordinator of one of our kiddos enjoying the Emily’s House Snoezelen Room.
Snoezelen is a sensory stimulation therapy that uses sights, sounds, smells, and touch to help people relax and explore. The sensory experience is an important element of care. It can be used to treat people with dementia, autism, and other developmental disabilities. Snoezelen is known to help relaxation, stress reduction, enhance communication with our nonverbal population, help reduce challenging behaviours by providing a therapeutic stimulating or calming environment.
The versatile nature of the Snoezelen environment allows us to meet each clients’ individual needs in specific moments. Here it looks like engagement, connection and joy!
