Behavioral improvements from Snoezelen occupational therapy (OT) carried over for some individuals with intellectual disability and autism. These improvements were seen in engagement and reduced challenging behaviors in different settings.

Area of Science:

  • Occupational therapy interventions
  • Behavioral science
  • Developmental disabilities research

Background:

  • Snoezelen therapy is a sensory-based intervention.
  • Occupational therapy (OT) utilizes Snoezelen for individuals with intellectual disability (ID) and autism.
  • Investigating treatment generalization is crucial for effective interventions.

Observation:

  • Behavioral improvements were noted during Snoezelen OT sessions.
  • The study aimed to determine if these improvements extended beyond the therapy setting.
  • Three participants with moderate/severe ID, autism, and challenging behaviors were included.

Findings:

  • Carryover of engagement during functional tasks was observed for two participants.
  • Reduced frequencies of challenging behaviors on subsequent days were found for two participants.

  • Results indicate potential for generalization of positive behavioral changes.

    • Implications:

    • Findings suggest Snoezelen OT may have lasting effects beyond direct treatment.
    • This highlights the potential for improved daily functioning and reduced challenging behaviors.
    • Further research can explore optimizing OT interventions for generalization in autism and ID.
