Description
What is Snoezelen?
Snoezelen is a multisensory stimulation approach that aims to provide experiences tailored to each person’s characteristics, needs and goals.
More than simply providing stimuli, it is important to understand who is in front of us, what they are looking for, how they react and how we can create a meaningful and safe experience.
In this training, you will learn about the principles that underpin this approach and discover how to move from concepts to practice.
