In essence, The SensoryBus comes to you. Schools, daycares, skilled-care facilities and private individuals can contract for therapeutic sessions on the bus. The Snoezelen environment is safe and non-threatening, allowing children and adults with a variety of needs –including, but not limited to, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Chronic Pain Syndrome, and Alzheimer's/Dementia – to “experience self-control, autonomous discovery, and exploration achievements that overcome inhibitions, enhance self-esteem, and reduce tension.”
Pioneered by Dutch therapists in the 1970’s, the Snoezelen concept is now used widely in education and care settings. Snoezelen, which is named for the Dutch verbs “snuffelen” (to seek out or explore) and “doezelen” (to relax), has grown into a worldwide movement over the past 15 years, used in over 30 countries and the subject of international research projects. Inside The SensoryBus, our Leaps Leaders will guide you through an experience employing colors, lights, textures, and music to elicit a variety of responses. This unique experience is wonderful to enjoy and share-a place that replenishes the spirit. With the first-of-its-kind mobile sensory environment, The SensoryBus will offer the benefits of a typically elite and prestigious service at a now affordable and attainable price. And – for the first time –this environment will come to you!
