Click here to watch What is Snoezelen?
Snoezelen is an activity that uses light, sound, smell, vibration, and tactile materials to provide stimulation to the five senses for the purpose of well-being. Based on this philosophy, users spend special time in a creative environment (Snoezelen Room) where they are not directed by anyone. Originally created in the Netherlands as a leisure activity for people with severe intellectual disabilities, it has now spread to more than 45 countries, mainly in Europe, because it is a comfortable time and space for all people, and many nursery schools and childcare support facilities have adopted it.
