The
most inspiring sensory integration |
|
| |
Multisensory
environments (MSE) provide a safe atmosphere for a comfortable
and rewarding sensory integration experience which provides
self-confidence. This innovative therapy approach focuses on
relaxed and controlled
activities to create a versatile area to stimulate and inspire
positive sensations, reactivate or develop sensory integration,
improve some physical and social skills, encourage communication
and interaction, and develop body awareness.
We are glad to
introduce a comprehensive MSE design and implementation service,
which will be custom made to fit your needs and budget. Each
multi sensory environment is unique, and it should be planned
and executed according to the specific needs of patients
and caregivers. We will help you find a theme concept for
your MSE room and design a white / dark, passive, active,
interactive or mixed space that is just perfect for you. Contact
us for a free design consultation on a tailored solution
or you can conveniently buy accessories from our online MSE
aStore to enhance or complete your own setting.
Please note that bubble columns, fiber
optics and softplay products are not stock items,
they all are custom made to your specifications and are not sold online. Please contact
us for a quote and/or to order any of these.

Origins |
|
| |
Multisensory
Environments were first developed by a team of young Dutch
therapists: Niels
Snoek, Rain Staps and Klaas Schenk. They worked at the
relaxation department of the Haarendael Institute in Holland
where they
created activities to stimulate perception, hearing, taste,
feeling and
smell in extraordinary ways. They called it "snoeselen
or snoeselarea" (with
S). After an experimental period, their success was made
public in a series of lectures.
Years later the
researchers and therapists Ad Verheul and Jan Hulsegge published
a book called "Snoezelen, another world" based
on their own experiences when they tested the multisensory
therapy on severely challenged people. They
redefined the term into "Snoezelen" (with Z) as a neologism
from the
words “snuffeln” (to sniff, to snuffle) and “doezelen” (to
doze, to snooze).
Many institutions
started to adopt this approach. A few years later "Snoezelen" became
a trademark
of a British company that marketed the required
equipment. The term is still being used to define this kind
of therapy,
the areas, associations
and researchers involved with this kind of therapy. However,
the preferred term for other manufacturers and providers to avoid
confusion with that trademark is
Multisensory Environments, Multi-Sensory Rooms or "Snoezeln" (without
the last e). Many variations of MSE rooms have been developed
over the years: white rooms,
dark rooms, sound rooms, water rooms, Multi-sensory outdoor
gardens, etc.

Fiber
optics cascades |
|
| |
One of the most amazing elements of a multi sensory
environment are fiber optics strands. Sideglow fibers can
be safely touched and explored while colours are constantly
changing for a stimulating and relaxing visual and tactile
experience.
These fiberoptics strands can be arranged in a variety of
ways: cascades, courtains, inside a padded box, where people
can be close to them to play and explore.

Bubble
columns |
|
| |
Bubble columns provide a combined visual, tactile and auditive
relaxing experience. Stimulating sensations are created by
the gentle vibration and soft sound of rising air bubbles,
which produce a constantly moving bright light effect.
A manual controller
can be used to change the overall colour : red, green,
blue and natural white; or it can be made with a single colour.
The padded base can be custom build to different shapes and
upholstered in a variety of colours. Extra rings can be moulded
into the bubble pillar to provide additional proprioceptive
stimuli. Contact us to ask about on site installation.
