Everyone - healthy or otherwise - needs to experience things in order to stimulate the senses and thus the brain. If the brain's sensory perception is impaired, this can adversely affect motor function, behaviour and the ability to learn.
The term 'Snoezel' originated in Holland in the 1970s and is a a way of helping the disabled and other people suffering from sensory disturbance. The word is a combination of two Dutch words - 'Sniffelen' and 'Doezelen', which mean to smell and to snooze/sleep.
Today, the word is most often used to describe a sensory room found in many institutions which is used for a variety of educational and therapeutic goals such as relaxation, sensory stimulation as well as physio- and psychotherapy.
Akvas waterbeds are suitable for the flexible design of these spaces, because the vast selection and production meet the individual requirements. Recommended are also built-in sound systems such as the Akva Sound. Through the integrated sound system, the user can feel the vibrations of the music with their whole body, stimulating the senses and at the same time many forms of therapy are supported.
