About GOODWILL RECREATION & LEISURE CENTER

For adult clients with disabilities who require daily supervision, Goodwill offers two unique, safe and nurturing environments that provide sensory stimulation, calming activities and personal involvement. Individuals can take advantage of one of two Snoezelen multi-sensory environments. What’s Snoezelen, you ask? The word is a combination of two Dutch words: snufflen (to sniff, seek out, or explore) and doezelen (to relax or be in a wonderful place). Snoezelen incorporates specialized sensory equipment and materials that can be individually customized to blend sights, sounds, textures, aromas and motion to provide stimulation and calming of the primary sensory systems. Our west location houses the Snoezelen Room. Picture yourself in a room with colored, dancing lights, a wide variety of objects to stimulate tactile senses, gentle, soothing music playing in the background and the smell of lavender in the air. A Snoezelen Room is a safe, controlled environment for adults with disabilities to relax and get away from the pressures and noises of the "real world." This therapy room, with its ball pit, aromatherapy, soothing lights and mirrors is the only one of its kind in Southern Colorado.
