Background: The Snoezelen room provides a multisensory environment for people with learning disabilities. Method: Thirty-five residents were recruited from a convenience sample of people living in a residential centre. A repeated-measures, within-subject design was used to evaluate the participants during three conditions: a) Snoezelen room, b) control period and c) watching television. The outcome measures were digit span memory tests and Romberg balance tests. One-way repeated-measures ANOVAs and paired-samples t tests were performed on the data. Results: ANOVA results show that there was a significant effect over time in the amount of digits remembered and in balancing ability between the three conditions (p < 0.0005). T tests confirmed that the Snoezelen condition was responsible for the significant improvements in memory and balancing ability. Conclusion: Participants performed significantly better with memory tasks and balancing skills after having attended multisensory stimulation in a Snoezelen room. This may be due to improved mindfulness, which is correlated with improvements of concentration, learning ability and motor skills caused by neurophysiologic changes of the brain.
