“…Despite its popularity, the effectiveness of the Snoezelen as a treatment intervention approach for children with disabilities is ambiguous. Findings of most studies indicate positive effects mainly on behavioral and emotional social skills (e.g., DeBunsen, 1994;Kaplan, Clopton, Kaplan, Messebauer, & McPherson, 2006;Lancioni, Singh, O'Reilly, Oliva, & Basili, 2005;Lavie, Shapiro, & Julius, 2005;Shapiro, Parush, Green, & Roth, 1997). Several studies, however, reported lack of influence (e.g., Lancioni et al, 2002;McKee, Harris, Rice, & Silk, 2007), and others reported the appearance of unfavorable behaviors such as inconvenience and overexcitement of participants (e.g., Hogg, Cavet, Loretto, & Smeddle, 2001;Lancioni et al, 2002).…”

“…The title ‘Aquability’ was coined because aquatic activities may increase range of motion, improved posture and self‐esteem, sleep and quality of life. The effects of aquatic therapy for individuals with neurological disabilities are reported elsewhere (15), as are alternative therapies conducted in water such as Pilates, Tai Chi, WATSU and Snoezelen (16–18).…”

This article describes a single-case design study and uses an occupational science focus to explore the effects of 'Aquability' as perceived by participants with neuropalliative conditions. Data collection tools include the Individual Child Engagement Record and the adapted Leisure Satisfaction Scale--short form by 14 participants (who had Barthel scores averaging 7/100). The time-sampled observations of engagement showed a significant difference between the scores for the control condition and the 'Aquability' sessions. The participants reported being in control, learning about themselves or others and feeling healthier after a session. They reported experiencing a sense of achievement and novelty, which was interesting and enjoyable. 'Aquability' appears to be a satisfying use of free time for participants with neuropalliative conditions.
