Afa Andujar, the Association of Patients with Alzheimer's or Other Dementias, created the Litte-Sense multisensory space. This room aims to improve people's abilities and quality of living through their perception of the world around them and of each other.

The service activates the basic human capacities, including sensations, perception, and sensory integration. It takes into consideration the individual capabilities of each user. "We care for people who are in dependency and have severe impairments in their cognitive, behavioral and emotional abilities," states Antonio Porras. He also says that sensory stimulation is a way to help. In the Snoezelen Space, Porras explains that work is underway to create controllable, pleasant, accessible and controlled environments that stimulate the senses, interaction, and communication. This multisensory room incorporates aspects such as music and touch, and helps to relieve the symptoms of the disease.

It will also be applicable to caregivers. He says that these therapies will slow down the progression of the disease. They also require scientific work. The room is overseen by psychologists, and represents another step in the development of new technologies.
