Snoezelen Room



Snoezelen: Dutch, "snuffelen" (to sniff, to snuffle) and "doezelen" (to doze, to snooze).... a room designed to provide exposure to soothing sounds, colors, sounds, effects, and smells. This is a picture from a facility I designed that included this treatment as part of the therapy in a school environment. Equipment was provided through a grant. The equipment has reached some students K-12 that did not respond to other situations.

Welcome.

Welcome to this blog. The purpose is to coordinate efforts between the architectural design community with the needs of autistic children, students, parents, teachers, and adults for space to live and learn in.
