Many of us are in the same boat. We are raising children with special needs. The problem is, they didn’t come with a manual and there are things that happen with them that we can’t explain, medicine can’t explain, and mainstream medicine can’t always cure. Our purpose at our last FamilyShare support group meeting was to share some potential solutions and possible alternative product options. Our goal was for people to leave with information, resources, and options to consider. DISCLAIMER: These are some of the things that have worked for some families. These are not the only things that work, and they may not work for everyone. Please talk with your healthcare team about any additions/changes you make to your life.

Snoezelan Room, Orange Grove Centers Snoezelen is the name of the philosophy that makes use of a specially designed room that provides a relaxing sensory environment for people with a variety of special needs. The word “Snoezelen” derives from the Dutch, the region in which the Snoezelen philosophy developed. The Dutch word “Snuffelen” means “to explore,” and “doezelen” means “to doze.” The word “Snoezelen” attempts to capture the concepts of sensation and relaxation in the created environment. In Orange Grove Center ’s Snoezelen Room, the senses are stimulated by a wonderful combination of soothing music, lighting, tactile sensations, and aromatherapy. http://www.orangegrovecenter.org/www/docs/119.185/occupational.html
