Epigenetic and MSE – Food for Thought, David Dobbs
The well known science journalist David Dobbs is the author of several books and a reporter for such publications as the New York Times Magazine, Atlantic Monthly, Slate, National Geographic and Scientific America. The Orchid Hypothesis is best described by Dobbs as the belief that most of us have a genetic composition like a dandelion, hardy and adaptable and able to survive wherever we take root. Then there are those that are more fragile, like an orchid. They too are able to thrive and bloom but require more attention and special care. Our “Hidden Angles” are orchids and we believe multi-sensory stimulation as part of their environment is key to their ability to thrive.
A Snoezelen (MSE) Design Approach: Touch-Play-Movement, Katie Gaudi on
Katie presents on ‘‘Design” as a fundamental component of the Snoezelen environment, one that can influence and affect a participant’s experience. Eliciting nonverbal communication and evoking movement and touch, components in an MSE encourage the individual to independently navigate and take control of an environment. Katie will take you through the journey of her practice-led research, which is a physical and theoretical account of Snoezelen and Design, drawing upon her own experiences and a cross-pollination of thoughts and ideas from occupational therapists, educators, designers, artists, and architects. Katie’s practice celebrates touch, play, movement, and the somatic nature of textiles, which naturally lends itself to the stimulation of the senses, particularly that of touch.
The Therapeutic Effects of MSE, Dr. Gillian Hotz
Dr. Gillian Hotz, Ph.D. discusses some of the preliminary findings of a study that investigates the effects of MSE therapy on physiological, cognitive and behavioral changes in children recovering from severe brain injury. Dr. Gillian Hotz is Co-Director of the Pediatric Neurotrauma Program at UM/JMMC, Assistant Professor in the Daughtry Family Department of Surgery, and Director of the Snoezelen Program, Miami. She has authored many articles, developed neurocognitive assessments for traumatic brain injury, and presented at many international and national conferences.
Effects of Environment on Neuroplasticity, Dr. Christopher Giza
Dr Giza will introduce general principles of plasticity and the interactions between plasticity and environment. He will then delve into topics of specific relevance for understanding clinical experience-based environmental interventions, such as the MSE, including developmental effects and interactions between plasticity and brain recovery. Dr. Christopher Giza is a MD who joined the UCLA faculty in the divisions of Neurosurgery and Pediatric Neurology. He runs the Pediatric Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) clinic at UCLA and is Associate Professor of Pediatric Neurology and Neurosurgery, and he is also on the faculty of the Interdepartmental Programs for Neuroscience and Biomedical Engineering at the David Geffen School of Medicine and Mattel Children’s Hospital at UCLA.
Changes in Mental Health - The Effects of Snoezelen (Multi-sensory Behavior Therapy) and Psychiatric Care, Dr. Jason Staal
The use of multi sensory environments in psychiatric hospitals has caused a paradigm shift that has led to the use of MSE (comfort rooms) to reduce seclusion and restraint. Dr. Jason A. Staal, Psy.D., presents important research in Multi-sensory Behavior Therapy and Psychiatric Care. Dr. Staal serves as Director of Beth Israel Medical Center’s Snoezelen Behavior Therapy Research Program, and is an Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at Albert Einstein College of Medicine. Dr. Staal is nationally known for his pioneering work on multi sensory behavior therapy (Snoezelen), having published and appeared on numerous television health news segments and health news print stories as well as presenting at academic institutions nationally and internationally, and collaborating with researchers worldwide.
Multi Sensory Environments in Education, Dr. Paul Pagliano
Dr. Paul Pagliano, Ph.D., is an Associate Professor in Education at James Cook University, Australia. Paul has a passionate interest in the use of Multi Sensory Environments as a method of where multisensory stimulation is made more pleasant, accessible, relevant, and meaningful for individuals with sensory input difficulties or differences. He has published widely on this topic, including the books Multisensory Environments and Using a Multisensory Environment. An internationally recognized public speaker, Paul has presented in 14 countries. Paul is also on the editorial board of five national and international journals.

WHO BENEFITS FROM
MULTI SENSORY ENVIRONMENTS?
Research has shown that MSE can improve the health, social well-being and quality of life of persons with severe and profound intellectual disabilities. Three groups benefit from the use of multi sensory stimulation: (a) those with profound disabilities who, because of a disability, have limited opportunity to access multi sensory stimulation on their own, such as people with developmental disabilities, cerebral palsy, Traumatic brain injury, stoke, dementia, profound multiple disabilities, learning disabilities, etc., (b) those who may have sensory processing challenges and need varying sensory stimulation in order to achieve self-regulation, such as people with autism, mental challenges, and (c) those without disabilities where multi sensory stimulation and experiencing the environment is a basis for learning and relaxation, such as infants and preschool children. MSE is also instrumental in pain management.
MSEs are being used with much success in many different environments with a greatly varied demographic. They can be found in schools, with and with-out special needs, hospitals in children’s and traumatic brain injury wards, retirement homes for use with Alzheimer’s, in parks and recreation centers to list but a few. Occupational therapists, physical therapists, teachers, care-givers, doctors, nurses, hospice workers along with many others who not only use but find great benefit and therapeutic value in MSE.
