I read some of the information on sensory . Not only OT's use it although it seems to be their domain. I have been using sensory stimulation/relaxation with Snoezelen for over a year now with great results. My main population is chronically mentally ill but also use it with dementias with behaviors - hallucinations and with emotionally disturbed children. Have found it useful in lowering BP in brain traumas and stress reduction. Amazing to watch someone relax without the use of Ativan or such. Although it has mostly been researched with severe sensory limited individuals _MR it is gaining on other fronts. We are one of the only nursing homes to use it in NY presently. I run a long term multipy impaired unit with chronic mentally ill and behavioral. DOH approves.
