Children have the right to quality recreation and leisure experiences with unconditional outcomes and no previously determined goals.
Children have the right to exercise choice and control of activities in the Snoezelen environment with minimum guidance.
Children need sensory experiences. A Snoezelen environment is designed to provide sensory integration, relaxation, and interactive learning.
Children have the right to experience relaxation in a safe, secure environment.
Children with disabilities and/or special needs have the right to share recreational/leisure experiences with family and friends.
