In view of this, I prepared two Snoezelen environments that combined two distinct visual stimuli with audio stimuli and olfactory stimuli, and by investigating the case of an infant A with severe motor and intellectual disabilities, I measured and examined the infant’s heart rates in a Morning Meeting environment and the two Snoezelen environments. The results showed that the Snoezelen 1 environment with audio stimuli, olfactory stimuli and visual stimuli (mirror ball and solar projector) and the Snoezelen 2 environment with audio stimuli, olfactory stimuli and visual stimuli (fiber glow and bubble tube) have virtually the same relaxation effects. In addition, the mean of heart rates counts and standard deviation values of heart rates counts decreased together as I repeated session by Individual Infantcare after Snoezelen 2 and understood that infant A was relaxed. Based on these findings, it was thought that, in ongoing individual care and treatment using Snoezelen, adequate relaxation effects could be induced even in a small space or with small equipment. This suggested that, in the future, relaxation could be conducted by using a single room at hospital, a class room at school or a corner of a room at home.}, pages = {163--170}, title = {Relaxation effects of snoezelen environments on an infant with severe motor and intellectual disabilities : Using heart rates as an indicator}, volume = {60}, year = {2009} }
