What is snoezelen? (multisensory stimulation)

Perhaps you have heard of it. Snoezelen or multisensory activation is a calming activity for people with a (severe) mental disability or advanced dementia.

Snoezelen falls under the perception-oriented way of providing care. People with dementia or with a mental disability are often more focused on body language and physical contact. Snoezelen stimulates the most important senses: hearing, sight, smell, touch and taste. By stimulating these senses selectively, people can express their emotions and feelings.
 
Why snoezelen?

The ultimate goal of snoezelen is a better quality of life for the person receiving care. Snoezelen optimizes feelings. It promotes a dialogue between cared for, close or caregiver and the environment. It gives a sense of security and safety.

Snoezel aids or materials:

  • Give relaxation.
  • Fight boredom.
  • Promote contact.

Improve the experience through sensory perception.

All this leads to a decrease in unrest and aggression and therefore to less use of sedative medication. It makes life and the relationship more meaningful.
 
How does snoezelen work?

Snoezelen is a form of experience-oriented care. It fits in with the experience and feelings of someone who receives care. The inner world is central and the care provider accepts, values ​​and follows. A bond of mutual trust is created.
 
And the practice in healthcare?

In the care for the disabled there are opportunities for snoezelen for people and children with a (serious) intellectual disability in institutions, schools and daycare centers. There are various materials for this, including fully furnished snoezel lodges or experience rooms.
