A retrospective account will be given, of the development of Snoezelhuset in Maribo, Denmark, from its original purpose as a public recreational facility with a wide range of participants (people of all ages, impaired of opportunities and recreational activities), to additionally using the facilities to supplement and enforce the therapeutic rehabilitation of people with other problem areas, f.x. acquired brain injuries (adults), PTSD and stress.
The speaker will present her frame of work that was developed for this task, and share some case stories to illustrate examples of the transformational work that evolved at Snoezelhuset.
Finally, reflections on the development of Snoezelen-MSE in Denmark and Scandinavia, and the opportunities for the future: possible new target groups of “customers,” demands for the development of new equipment, education and participation in national, regional and international cooperation.
