Abstract:
In recent times, Snoezelen rooms and other multisensory and interactive environments are spreading not only in rehabilitation contexts but also in school settings, as evidenced by the birth of a "National Snoezelen Schools Network" which includes about 50 schools offering, not only to children and young people with disabilities but also to a wider user base, ludic and educational activities created with a multi-sensory approach. This reflects a change of perspective that sees “special” projects as opportunities useful for everyone. More recently, the "Domus Laetitiae" Cooperative, after a decade of experience of multisensory activities within social and healthcare facilities, opened itself to the community and started an experimental project aimed at nursery schools, by creating a multisensory environment at Cascina Oremo. This contribution explores the impact on young children, in terms of learning and relationships, elicited using these environments.
