BYU Jerusalem Center

We are thrilled to announce the grand opening of the Multisensory Stimulation (Snoezelen) Room at Al Basma School for Special needs in Beit Hanina, Jerusalem.
The construction of the room, opened on Thursday, September 19, 2024 was made possible through the generous donation of the LDS Charities and The Brigham Young University Jerusalem Center for Near Eastern Studies.
This safe and welcoming space provides autistic children a unique sensory experience, helping to support relaxation, communication, and cognitive development through carefully curated lights, sounds, textures, and interactive features.
The new Snoezelen room at Al Basma school places it as one of the leading institutions for special education in the country.
Thanks to all who contributed to the success of the project
