Snoezelen Room
Ongwanada’s Snoezelen Room opened in April, 2001 and is based on a practice originally developed in the Netherlands in 1984. The Snoezelen concept comes from the recognition that stimulation, relaxation and enjoyment are basic needs of all individuals. Everyone thrives in the world around them through their senses and Snoezelen brings sensory experiences together, in a therapeutic room, for people with a developmental disability who cannot participate in other leisure activities in typical ways.
The Snoezelen Room concept is able to bring the activity to the client in ways that enables them to interact with the equipment which then responds and changes to their touch. To have an effect on what is happening in the room and the ability to choose the activity gives a sense of accomplishment to the individual.
Relax and stimulate your senses
A Snoezelen room is used to provide a variety of sensory elements to help stimulate or relax the senses. The room has subdued lighting and is furnished with specially designed, interactive equipment that creates lights, sounds, and smells.
