Snoezel Patch Blanki-pt2... Mat/blanket-Audio Patch
I decided that I would like there to be a modula piece that incorporates audio. From my visit to the Cordaan home and from my discussions with the staff, I was given the impression that music is a vital part of the snoezel room.
The snoezel room that I visited had a normal cd/radio player, and according to the carer, each child had a different preference for music and would even turn the volume up and down.
This leads me to believe that the children/users enjoy the interaction and control over what it is they hear.
So, therefore, with these bits.......
I made this patch for the Snoezel Blanki....
It consists of an on/off/volume dial, two small speakers and a joystick......mounted on cardboard and under the fabric is badding lining so as to keep it soft and working in with the blanket......
.... I also later changed the joy stick... as it just looked like a joystick and that is not the aesthetic I was after......... I prefer to have the patch controled in a manner that can be played a little for intuitively than, just like a game.... forward, back, left, right.
The patch is intended to be added to other patches like so.....
