Snoezelen Sensorium
​
Southeastern’s College of Education, Department of Teaching and Learning has an outstanding program titled Snoezelen Sensorium that prepares students for careers serving special needs children, particularly those with autism. Animal therapy has proved an effective tool for individuals with special needs. Eve and other animals are periodically invited to events to showcase the advantages of animal therapy. We at CCC are particularly amazed to see autistic children who
rarely express emotion actually smile and extend their arms and hands to interact with Eve. Candidly, witnessing these remarkable visits is emotionally charged but the most gratifying experiences for the children’s parents as well as CC4C volunteers.
​
CC4C has worked with Southeastern for Camp Sensation, a day camp for children with sensory disabilities, and we hope to continue working with Camp Sensation for many years to come. Also, CC4C is contacted when there are events the fit. Our latest visit was the lighting of the campus Christ Tree. Winona, Eve and Izzy were a big hit.
