Snoozlen can be used as a motivator, as a sensory stimilator/repressor, etc. How do you plan to combine PT with it?

Most Snoozlen stuff is WAY expensive, and you can usually accomplish the desired effect with a less expensive motivator or sensory activator/repressor.

Snoelzen is distibuter of products that are designed for use in sensory integration therapy. I'm not familiar with "snoelzen therapy", but other distributers of products have marketed "therapy" using their products, so this could be the case here.

Like Drew said, this type of equipment can provide motivation, stimulation, etc. We all treat in a sensory environment allready! Dimming the lights, soft music, turning up the thermostat slightly all can relax. Brighter lights, quicker music, and a cooler temperature can be stimulating. We can be more tuned in to how the environment we treat in affects our clients. Some of the equipment you are talking about can heighten the effect.
