In recent times, Snoezelen rooms and other multisensory and interactive environments are spreading not only in rehabilitation contexts but also in school settings, as evidenced by the birth of a "National Snoezelen Schools Network" which includes about 50 schools offering, not only to children and young people with disabilities but also to a wider user base, ludic and educational activities created with a multi-sensory approach. This reflects a change of perspective that sees “special” projects as opportunities useful for everyone. More recently, the "Domus Laetitiae" Cooperative, after a decade of experience of multisensory activities within social and healthcare facilities, opened itself to the community and started an experimental project aimed at nursery schools, by creating a multisensory environment at Cascina Oremo.

Da alcuni anni le stanze Snoezelen e altri ambienti multisensoriali e interattivi si stanno diffondendo non solo nei setting riabilitativi ma anche in quelli scolastici, come testimonia la nascita di una “Rete Nazionale Scuole Snoezelen” che conta circa cinquanta istituzioni scolastiche che propongono, non solo a bambini e ragazzi con disabilità ma a un’utenza ampliata, attività ludico-didattiche realizzate con un approccio multisensoriale, in un cambiamento di prospettiva che vede in progettualità nate come “speciali” delle opportunità utili a tutti. Più recentemente, la Cooperativa “Domus Laetitiae”, dopo una decennale esperienza di attività multisensoriali all’interno di strutture sociosanitarie, ha realizzato un ambiente multisensoriale presso Cascina Oremo, aprendosi al territorio e avviando delle sperimentazioni rivolte alle scuole dell’infanzia. Il presente contributo esplora le ricadute su bambini e bambine, in termini di apprendimenti e relazioni, elicitate dall’uso di questi ambienti.
Da speciale a universale: un’esperienza d’uso degli ambienti multisensoriali nella scuola dell’infanzia.

Abstract
In recent times, Snoezelen rooms and other multisensory and interactive environments are spreading not only in rehabilitation contexts but also in school settings, as evidenced by the birth of a "National Snoezelen Schools Network" which includes about 50 schools offering, not only to children and young people with disabilities but also to a wider user base, ludic and educational activities created with a multi-sensory approach. This reflects a change of perspective that sees “special” projects as opportunities useful for everyone. More recently, the "Domus Laetitiae" Cooperative, after a decade of experience of multisensory activities within social and healthcare facilities, opened itself to the community and started an experimental project aimed at nursery schools, by creating a multisensory environment at Cascina Oremo. This contribution explores the impact on young children, in terms of learning and relationships, elicited using these environments.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
