Medical - Medical (general) / Rehabilitation | | Dutch term or phrase: snoezelruimte | | I'm looking for the English translation of the Dutch word 'snoezelruimte'. It is a therapeutic room beneficial to people with sensory, cognitive and physical disabilities. It provides stimulation and relaxation through the use of smell, touch, sound, color and light. Very often there is a water bed, music in the background, scented candles and lighting effects. |

14 mins confidence: peer agreement (net): +3 snoezelen room / multi-sensory stimulation room
Explanation:
'It's actually something called a **Snoezelen or multi-sensory stimulation room** for people with cognitive impairment.
The rooms are environments that use sensory stimulation like sounds, touch, lights, pictures, and smells either for a calming effect on agitated patients or to stimulate patients who have withdrawn.'
