About this service
Snoezelen (pronounced "snoo-za-len") is a combination of two Dutch verbs: "snuffelen," which means to seek out and explore, and "doezelen," which means to relax. This is a very special experiential room for people with diversabilities to encounter a rich and stimulating environment which blends sight, sound, texture, and light gently stimulating primary senses. The Snoezelen Room provides an experience that is free from expectation of others and the pressures of directed care. Participants experience self-directed exploration, relaxation or sensory stimulation and respond to these new sensations in their own unique way. Research supports multi-sensory environments such as the Snoezelen Room can offer visual, auditory, and kinesthetic benefits to people of all ages and abilities.
