In July 2024, we conducted our annual TESSA customer survey, with around 100 participants. As a special thank-you, we donated €5 to the Blind Institute for every completed survey. Results showed that over 90% of our users would recommend TESSA, and more than 80% are highly satisfied with our Digital Asset Management software. Each feedback is invaluable to us. We appreciate active participation and use these insights to develop new DAM features and further optimize our offerings.
As a local software company, supporting regional projects is particularly important to us. That’s why we presented a €500 donation to the Blind Institute in Kitzingen. Fatma Kilic-Temiz, the area director, was delighted to receive the donation. The Blind Institute plans to use the funds to complete a Snoezelen room for its clients in Kitzingen. We’re also pleased to contribute to the realization of this project, promoting the well-being of its clients.
The Blind Institute of Würzburg
The Blind Institute of Würzburg has a long history, with over 160 years of tradition. Founded in 1853, the institute has evolved from a small school for blind children into a comprehensive support organization that today serves far more than just people with visual impairments. The institute’s services include early support, educational and vocational programs, various housing options, and a wide range of therapeutic services. Its mission is to enable people with disabilities to live as independently and fully as possible. With modern facilities and specialized professionals, the Blind Institute provides a unique combination of care, therapy, and individualized support tailored to the needs of its clients.
What is a Snoezelen Room?
In everyday life, people with complex impairments often face challenges that make the world seem overwhelming and frightening. Sensory overload, confusion, and barriers characterize their daily experiences. To provide these individuals with a place of calm and relaxation, the Blind Institute in Kitzingen will soon open a very special room: the Snoezelen room.
In this room, clients with blindness or multiple disabilities can immerse themselves in an environment that delivers targeted sensory experiences in a soothing dosage. Snoezelen, a concept developed in the Netherlands in the 1970s, involves a room designed entirely in white and offers a multisensory experience through bubble columns, lighting effects, mirrored balls, and soft music. It’s not only about relaxation but also about activation: individuals are encouraged to reach for sensory stimuli, adjust their positions, and seek contact. You can learn more about the concept here.
