This extraordinary kind of therapy was developed by the famous psychologist
Dr. David E. Nathanson. He runs Dolphin Human Therapy in order to help
disabled children from all over the world together with his team of specialists
in the fields of therapy and education.
The therapy focuses on the encounter of children with dolphins. Accompanied
by their skilled trainers the children are working on a swimming dock
according to a schedule with at least one dolphin who is able in a playful
way, to miraculously and immediately, find out the child's deficit. In
this way the children lose their shyness towards the huge animals and
with their help re-establish the contact to their surroundings. These
positive impulses lead to an amazing progress in the child's development
which has endless positive consequences.
Dolphin Therapy does not claim to cure diseases. Nevertheless, research
has shown that, by working with dolphins, disabled children are able to
learn up to four times faster and more intensively for example, when exploring
their surroundings. In order to achieve positive treatment, Dolphin Therapy
should be carried out for not less than two weeks
Another positive aspect is that the whole family can be integrated into
the therapy, which can lead to basic progress in the future. The brothers
and sisters of the young patients also enjoy the company of the dolphins.
