In this article we present a tool for professionals who work in care services (24-hour services) with people with a type of dependency and/or developmental disability, such as dementia and/or Alzheimer‘s, intellectual disabilities, autism spectrum disorders etc. Sensory interventions for these people are primarily focused on offering them better quality of life and increased emotional well-being. Sensations are the basis of well-being and are present and functioning in everyone, regardless  of  their  level  of  dependence.  The  main  challenge  for  professionals   and institutions is to provide the most appropriate intervention...

Social Pathology and Prevention 2021, 7(1):49-57 | DOI: 10.25142/spp.2021.003  

There are clear commonalities between the Snoezelen method and therapeutic storytelling (fairy tale therapy). When conducting fairy tale therapy in a Snoezelen room, we deal with the synergetic effect of sensory stimuli (characteristic of Snoezelen) and imaginary stimuli (characteristic of fairy tale therapy). Both the symbolic space of a fairy tale and the sensory space of Snoezelen constitute a „different“ world. Each type of art therapy, including bibliotherapy and the fairy tale therapy it contains, affect the senses, thus supporting sensory memory. The article analyses the theoretical and practical aspects of conducting fairy tale...

From the model of quality of life and person-centered care (Kitwood, 1997), we present  a case study with the aim of evaluating the benefit of Snoezelen multisensory stimulation (SMS) in an 88-year-old subject with unspecified dementia, GDS6, and recurrent depressive disorder. For this purpose, a pretest-posttest design was chosen, with an intervention consisting of one  weekly  Snoezelen  session  for  five  weeks.  To  assess  the  effects of the intervention, a record of the physiological and behavioral profile of the person was used. The results include both the immediate effects of SMS and those after two hours. In conclusion, the...

In the second part, the author focuses on the application of music therapy in a special primary school environment with a target group of students with a combined disability and severe mental disability. It presents the forms, the course of lessons, the specifics of music therapy activities and a specific case study of the student, in which he describes the course of music therapy lessons.
