Abstract

The documented studies about the Snoezelen Sensory Room intervention are scarce. In the present investigation, a pre-test and post-test analysis of a group intervention performed in a Snoezelen multisensory stimulation room is performed. For this analysis, the Batelle Development Inventory was applied before and after 7 sessions of treatment, emphasizing aspects of sociability, attention, mobility and communication. The population was 82 patients that were active in the State Center for Rehabilitation and Special Education. There were significant differences in the post-test evaluation of the variables of sociability, improving the score obtained in the pre-test (M = 1.55) with higher score in the post-test (M = 1.66); as soon as the pretest of attention (M = 2.53) presented an improvement in the post-test of attention (M = 2.67); the subjects of the motor pretest (M = 2.07) show a better motivity in the post-test (M = 2.13) and, finally, the subjects of the communication pretest (M = 1.58) show an improvement in the post-test of communication (M = 1.67). It concludes, the impact of the work in the snoezelen room in the development of skills in patients with some special educational need.
