#### **What is a Snoezelen® Sensory Room? **

**Snoezelen multi-sensory environments are, by nature, relaxing spaces that help to reduce agitation and anxiety, but they can also engage and delight the user, stimulating reactions and encouraging communication.

**A lack of choice and control is a frustrating reality for many people managing the effects of a range of conditions from sensory processing disorders such as autism, or self-regulation issues, to brain injury.

The Snoezelen® Sensory room seeks to hand back this sense of control and choice to a person by allowing them to explore and interact with their environment. At the flick of a switch or even through a gesture, a sensory room can transform from a calming and soothing place to an exciting and engaging interactive space full of light and sound.
