“Snoezelen” is a sensory-adapted environment combined with the “enabling therapist” approach. According to this approach, controlled multisensory stimulation has a significant impact on the patient’s ability to achieve sensory regulation and readiness for learning. The approach distinguishes between stimulating or calming stimuli, which are adapted in terms of nature, quantity, organization, and intensity of the stimuli to the individual needs of each patient.

Presented here is the “Snoezelen Book” 2011, by Dr. Michel Shapira, in its full English text.
