UNIT STANDARD ID 117502:
As we are very flexible and have a large resource base, the topics for seminars can be suggested by the group and we will try to respond accordingly. We have worked extensively on:
Snoozling
Snoozling is a multi-sensory activity originally designed for use in the treatment of people with intellectual disabilities (mental handicap). In Europe it is widely used in education and care settings and has shown great benefits for children and adults with intellectual disabilities, autism, dementia, mental illness, chronic pain, acquired head injury and other conditions. However, until now, multi-sensory environments have not been very well known in South Africa. Cape Mental Health Society plans to change that with our ‘The Snoozle Programme’, guide, which is available as a workshop and a handbook at R40 per copy.
To order a copy of “The Snoozle Programme” handbook or for more information, contact Marga de Villiers at Learning for Life (Cape Mental Health Society) at:
