The 9th International Snoezelen Conference

The 9th International Snoezelen Congress (ISNA) held in Paris Oct. 19-21, 2011 was a great success. With over 250 people and 15 countries represented, this venue offered many opportunities to exchange ideas and hear new concepts and research. Some of the interesting dialog was on the new draft of a more inclusive definition of Snoezelen/Multisensory Environments that is being put forth to the World.

An Example of Arousal Change

This series of slides is presented to show the stages of arousal that takes place in a Multi-Sensory Environment. Notice how, over the course of the slideshow, the level of arousal of this three-year-old, goes from her initial state of "excitement" to one that changes to a focused baseline, ready to learn!
