Bubble Tubes provide multi-sensory feedback and stimulate the visual system, facilitating your client s ability to track bubbles and objects. The constant effects of color change are also useful for promoting color recognition and visual perception. Further, when your client gazes at the tube, his/her level of relaxation may be enhanced. In addition to the visual benefits, bubble tubes are ideal for providing tactile stimulation. Encourage your clients to touch the bubble tube because doing so will offer them tactile feedback. They will feel the vibratory sensations shiver through their hands. VISUAL SENSE Vision is stimulated by light. Our visual sense provides us with details about what we see and helps us to define boundaries as our brain processes color, contrast, shape, and movement. Individuals with sensory deficits often have problems organizing vision. They may not be able to use both eyes at the same time leading to learning difficulties. The inability to comprehend what they are seeing can cause problems with eye/hand coordination, visual perception, and spatial awareness. The Snoezelen MSE can be used to encourage awareness to light, tracking and other visual skills. The right level of visual input and experience can set the tone for stimulation or relaxation. Solar Projector: is used to stimulate the visual sense as the brightness and movement create high contrast that can elicit response from the client. Any effect wheels that display recognizable objects/experiences can be used for reminiscence therapy, memory and learning games, storytelling, reinforcing shapes, colors, numbers, conversation starters or just for fun Fiber Optics: light sprays and curtains can be used for mood elevation or relaxation techniques. As your clients view the sparkling light strands and enjoy the sensation as the colors softly and slowly change, an increase in focus and engagement is encouraged. Fiber optics provides opportunity for color recognition and colors can be controlled by the client using one of the compatible Wi-fi controllers. Infinity and Beyond Panel: draws the participant into a lighted tunnel of infinite depth. The mesmerizing pattern and color changes as the LED lights rotate around the screen provides invaluable opportunity for teaching, stimulating, motivating and as a leisure tool for all abilities and ages. The 49 different visual light effects to choose from can be adjusted to meet each client s needs and preference. This wall panel is a good tool for tracking, hand/eye coordination and anticipation. The large accessible buttons on the front of the panel provides control for the user. A suitable ability switch can also be connected easily on the front of the panel to offer control and empower any individual regardless of their level of ability. The panel comes with a one button switch. Sounds are also created with one of the touch-controlled buttons on the front of the Infinity and Beyond panel. The panel can be used with the many compatible Wi-Fi Snoezelen products that are available. Projection Projection is a powerful tool for facilitating change in an MSE. It is used to promote relaxation through visual engagement. Projectors can provide endless possibilities to immerse the client into a meaningful virtual experience. They may be used for Reminiscence Therapy or to elicit conversation. For children, they add excitement to storytelling as well as for pure imaginative fun. Projectors are typically installed on a shelf out of client s reach for safety. There are various types of projectors available depending on the space and budget. Several projectors offer numerous accessories to increase visual experiences. Snoezelen can aid learning/development, help to relax an agitated person, or stimulate and raise alertness levels of someone who has sensory processing disorders. It is helping to improve the quality of life of thousands of people around the world.
