Multi-sensory Environments: An Exploration of Their Potential for Young People with Profound and Multiple Learning Difficulties.
Mount, Helen; Cavet, Judith
British Journal of Special Education, v22 n2 p52-55 Jun 1995
This article addresses the controversy concerning multisensory environments for children and adults with profound and multiple learning difficulties, from a British perspective. The need for critical evaluation of such multisensory interventions as the "snoezelen" approach and the paucity of relevant, rigorous research on educational benefits of multisensory environments is highlighted.
